Or if a restaurant’s or stage theater’s Wi-Fi or Bluetooth beacons tell it to. Or if your phone’s light sensor detects darkness while the microphone also detects silence (like just before a movie starts playing).
To figure this out, the phone could even tap your calendar or your recent mobile payments. If you bought event tickets at the counter using tap-to-pay technology, your phone would know when to go quiet.
