Can't seem to put M2 on silent (email alerts, texts) and no icon in taskbar since Android update?

[_Gavin_]

Hello

As of yesterday, I've updated to the new Android version and I've spent the last few hours cursing it as a bunch of icons have vanished and things are all over the place.

However my biggest gripe is that the icon which I used to have on the taskbar for switching the phone to silent (including all notifications, texts, calls, etc) has vanished.  Now the only way I can find to put the phone onto silent is to go all the way into the menus and put the volume all the way down to 0.  I've been through the settings menus now many times and still can't find another option anywhere.

I have not seen this same issue being reported elsewhere...so maybe its just me?

Any advice is most appreciated!

It works a treat, just sent an email to all 3 addresses and it was received with no audio notification, light flashed as it should.  Excellent!  I'm a happy Sony user anyway but I have reason to smile even more now!

Thank you
