Troubleshooting Why My Phone Is Not Ringing When Someone Calls Me

There are several potential reasons why your phone is not ringing when someone calls you. First, check to make sure that your ringer volume is turned up sufficiently. If the ringer volume is set too low, you may not be able to hear it. Additionally, if you have Do Not Disturb or Airplane mode enabled on your device, then incoming calls will be silenced. Finally, it’s possible that you may have accidentally enabled call forwarding without realizing it, which would cause all incoming calls to be diverted elsewhere.

Turning Off Silent Mode

To turn Silent mode off, go to Settings > Sound & Haptics. You can turn off Silent mode by tapping the switch next to Silent Mode at the top of the page. Once the switch is turned off, sound and vibrations will be enabled for incoming calls, texts, and oter notifications. Additionally, you can also enable or disable “Change with Buttons” to adjust your ringtone and alert sound levels.

Troubleshooting iPhone Stuck on Silent Mode

It is possible that the ringer slider on your iPhone has become stuck in the silent mode position. This can happen if the slider was set to silent and then moved too quickly or with too much force, so it got stuck in that position. To fix this issue, try gently prising the slider up from its stuck position with a thin object like a toothpick. This should allow you to reset the ringer to the desired setting.

Identifying Whether an iPhone is on Silent Mode

If your iPhone is on silent, you will be able to tell by looking at the switch on the side of the device. If it is in silent mode, the switch should be facing towards the back of the iPhone and tere will be an orange indicator visible. Additionally, you should see a notification on your display that indicates that your iPhone is in silent mode.
