Custom sound profiles for ringtone, SMS, vibration on iPhone?

Is It Possible to Create Custom Sound Profiles on an iPhone?

I’m looking for a feature or shortcut on the iPhone that allows me to switch between different personalized sound profiles, with all the associated settings applied at once.

To explain what I’m looking for, I would like to create two custom profiles, each with its own ringtone, SMS tone, and vibration settings.

For example:

  1. Profile 1 – Normal Mode
    • Ringtone 1
    • SMS tone 1
    • Vibration enabled
    • other N number of options if needed (like enable siri and disable siri) etc
  1. Profile 2 – Meeting Mode
    • Ringtone 2
    • SMS tone 2
    • Vibration disabled

Ideally, I would like to create a shortcut for these profiles on my iPhone’s home screen. When I tap the shortcut, it should prompt me to select either Profile 1 or Profile 2. Once I select a profile, all the corresponding sound and vibration settings should be applied automatically in one go.

This type of feature was available on older Nokia phones, and I found it extremely useful, especially when switching between normal use and meetings.

Does Apple offer a similar feature on the iPhone, either natively through iOS or using the Shortcuts app? If so, is there a way to set this up so that I can switch between these custom profiles with a single tap?
