How the silent option in iOS works is that it silences (or sets to vibrate) the ringer, and all other sounds except video and music. It’s how you can still watch a YouTube video when your device is set to silent. You’d also find that with the new update, music will stop when you start an ad, whereas it didn’t before. It’s been reclassified under iOS. Before it was game sound, but now it’s video. It’s not overriding your device settings. It’s a feature of them.
