iPhone Not Ringing? Here’s Why & The Fix!

  • Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
  • Two Apple experts explain why your iPhone is not ringing and show you how to fix the problem for good.
    The first thing to do is check your iPhone’s Ring / Silent switch. If the switch is set to Silent, your iPhone won’t ring.
    Next, turn up your ringer volume all the way. It's possible the ringer is set to silent!
    Make sure Do Not Disturb isn’t turned on. Do Not Disturb is a feature that will silence all calls, texts, and other notifications.
    If Do Not Disturb is off, it’s possible that your iPhone is stuck in headphones mode, or there could be damage to one of its speakers.

  • @funguy4utube
    @funguy4utube 2 роки тому +2

    Love the video ... however my fix was different. No ringer recently, tried all your methods but it turned out that the side button which kept wanting to stay in the off position was keeping the phone in 'mute' mode. Even when I held it in the up position and had someone call it would not ring. Then, with case off, and after blowing air into the switch area, I used my thumbnail to carefully apply 'max possible' pressure to the slider button and "bam" it snapped into ON mode. Maybe there was some little crushed up debris in there. Maybe it is still in there but diminished.

    She lost her phone 2 days ago (somewhere in the house!) And I told her once it was found it needed to make some type of sound so we could find it if lost again. Well, I adjusted all of her settings and her phone still wasn't ringing or making any notifications. I thought I was losing my mind! LOL

  • @SoNowWhat
    @SoNowWhat 5 років тому +4

    Great tips. One suggestion - when you talk about “turning your iphone off then back on”, many people don’t understand the difference between simply locking the screen (a quick press of the power button which simply turns off the screen), and a true power off - a longer press of the power button until you get the “slide to power off” message.

      Under Settings/Phone there is a button called "Silence Unknown Callers". If this is on then turn it off. I turned it on because I thought it meant callers shown as "Unknown" while what it really means is that all callers that are not in your contact list will be blocked! Not a usefull button. Even when ATT help called me it would not ring. Of course, ATT Help was no help in finding the problem.

    Of everything I’ve read I was never been able to find the solution to why my iPhone 6 was not ringing. No article mentioned the toggle switch on the side right above the volume controls. Even though I’ve turned it off in the past, I had inadvertently done so when I learned about>Focus>Do Not Disturb. The toggle also controls the keyboard clacking sound. Thanks.
