A definite article before “silent mode”

Why don’t the natives of the English language use a definite article before “silent mode” while saying “my cellphone is on silent mode”? Is that a big nonsense?

What are some of the best examples of short and unambiguous sentences in English? My phone is on vibrate, it uses the same structure as expressing any other mode

  • your phone is in.
  • My phone is on loud. How do you cure this?

The premodifier ( silent, vibrate or loud) already clearly state the type of mode your phone is in. What is the use of this article here is obsolete and would sound off simply because it is normally omitted when speaking about the current

mode.
