Why Won’t Your iPhone Stop Staying Silent?
Let’s fix your iPhone so it rings and vibrates again. If your calls and texts are getting lost in silence, here’s what you need to do.
Quick Steps to Turn Off Do Not Disturb
- Put your finger at the top-right corner of your screen. Swipe down. This opens the Control Center.
- Look for the “Do Not Disturb” icon. If “Do Not Disturb” is on, the moon icon will be highlighted. Tap it once to turn it off. Done!
- Sometimes, it turns back on automatically. Go to Settings. Scroll down and tap Focus.
- Under Focus, find Do Not Disturb. Check if it’s set to a schedule (e.g., 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Either disable the schedule or adjust the timing to fit your needs.
- Driving, Personal, or Sleep Focus might also be active. Turn them off if they’re causing interruptions.
A Few Tips for Peace of Mind
- If Focus keeps reactivating, double-check for automation settings under each mode.
- Customize notifications under Focus to allow calls or messages from specific people even when it’s on.
- Test your phone by asking someone to call or text you after making changes.
Imagine missing an important call because your phone stayed silent without warning—it’s frustrating! These steps ensure you stay connected when you need to while keeping control over when you want quiet time.
