Thanks for clarifying. I can see what you’re going for and why the iOS functionality isn’t enough. Some feedback that comes to my mind:

I imagine that there are three personas -

1. one who wants others’ phones to be silent

2. one who wants to silence their own phone

3. one who is indifferent

Type 1 is motivated to download the app and encourage others to do so, especially if they are in the administration of that place.

Type 2 might choose to manually silence their phone. There is a subset of type 2 that might constantly forget to silence their device. This subset might be motivated to download the app.

Type 3 is simply not motivated to download the app.

I’d suggest checking if this is really a need that people feel and will be motivated to download an app for, or a projection of one’s own preference of order and discipline that one wishes others to have.
