Why is my iPhone not ringing when I get a call or text?

I updated my iPhone Pro Max 13 two nights ago, and now my phone doesn't ring when receiving calls. I checked all settings and restarted the iPhone, but still nothing. Does anyone else have this problem?

There are several reasons why your iPhone may not be ringing when you receive a call or text message. Here are some possible explanations:

1️⃣Silent mode: Check if your iPhone is in silent mode or if the Ring/Silent switch on the side of your iPhone is turned off. If it is, switch it back to the ring mode.

2️⃣Do Not Disturb mode: Make sure that the Do Not Disturb feature is not enabled on your iPhone. You can check this by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen to open the Control Center and look for the moon icon. If it is enabled, tap on it to turn it off.

3️⃣Volume settings: Check the volume settings on your iPhone to ensure that the ringer volume is turned up. You can adjust the volume by using the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone. Or, you can go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and ensure the ringer volume is not set to 0.

4️⃣Software issues: Sometimes, software glitches can cause issues with notifications and ringtones. Try restarting your iPhone or updating its software to see if that resolves the problem.

5️⃣Do Not Disturb contacts: Make sure that the contacts who are trying to call or message you are not added to the Do Not Disturb list. You can check this in Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb.

6️⃣iPhone unknown caller settings: If you're not hearing a ring call, it could be due to your iPhone's unknown caller settings. Go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Caller. When you have enabled the option, your iPhone won't ring for certain phone numbers.

7️⃣Hardware issues: If none of the above solutions work, there may be a hardware issue with your iPhone's speaker or other components. In this case, it's best to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
