Why Are Some Calls Silenced?

Some calls may be silenced for a variety of reasons. One possibility is that the caller is set as “Do Not Disturb” on your device, meaning that the call will not ring or vibrate. Another reason could be that your phone is connected to a Bluetooth device, such as earphones or speakers, and the ringtone for the call is being routed to that device instead. Additionally, if you have enabled any type of “call blocking” feature on your phone, it could be silencing some calls as well.

Troubleshooting iPhone Not Ringing When Receiving Calls

If your iPhone is not ringing when you get calls, it may be because the Ring/Silent switch on the top-left side of your iPhone,above the volume buttons, has been set to vibrate-only mode. This means that your phone will vibrate when you get a call, but won’t ring. To fix this, simply move the Ring/Silent switch towards the screen to enable ring mode.

Preventing iPhone from Silencing Calls

To stop your iPhone from silencing incoming calls, you can turn off the Do Not Disturb feature. To do this, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and move the toggle to the left next to Do Not Disturb. You can also quickly allow incoming call notifications by swiping up from the bottom of the device to bring up the Control Center and tapping the moon-shaped Do Not Disturb icon. This will turn off silencing for incoming calls on your device.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you find that your incoming calls are being silenced on your iPhone, it could be becaue you have accidentally or deliberately turned on the DND mode. You can check this mode by opening the Control Center and looking for the Do Not Disturb/Focus option. Additionally, if your phone is connected to Bluetooth earphones and you’re not actively using them, any calls will be routed to the device instead of your phone. To fix this issue and get your iPhone back in ring mode, simply move the Ring/Silent switch towards the screen. Once this is done, all incoming calls should sound as normal.
