I’ve been facing an issue lately with my iPhone where it doesn’t ring for incoming calls. It’s quite frustrating because I miss important calls, and I have to constantly check my phone for missed notifications. I have checked the volume and ensured that the mute switch is off, but the problem persists. Also, the ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode is turned off, so that’s not the issue either. It seems like an odd glitch because sometimes it works fine, but other times, it just doesn’t ring at all. Has anyone else experienced this, and what could be causing it?

In rare cases, a hardware issue might be the problem, as I experienced once. My phone had a faulty ringer switch, and I had to visit an Apple Store. They diagnosed and replaced the malfunctioning part. If you’ve tried everything else, professional support might be necessary.

I’ve dealt with this and found my ringer volume was turned down. To fix this, navigate to ‘Settings’, select ‘Sounds & Haptics’, and under ‘Ringer and Alerts’, move the slider to increase the volume.

Resetting all settings can resolve unusual software glitches. Note, this won’t delete your personal data but will reset system settings like Wi-Fi passwords. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ > ‘Reset’ > ‘Reset All Settings’. This worked for me when nothing else did.

A common cause for your iPhone not ringing could be that Silent Mode is activated. To check, flip the switch on the side of your device. If an orange strip is visible, Silent Mode is on. Flip the switch back to turn the ringer back on.

Cleaning the speaker and microphone areas can help, as dust could be blocking the sound. I used a small, soft brush to clear any debris from the speaker grilles, improving the ringer’s loudness.

I’ve been there too, and discovered that my ‘Do Not Disturb’ settings were the issue. It’s easy to check this: go to ‘Settings’, then ‘Do Not Disturb’ and ensure it’s off. Additionally, verify that it’s not scheduled to activate automatically.

If your iPhone is connected to a Bluetooth device, it might route call audio to that device instead of ringing. This happened to me frequently. Turn off Bluetooth from the Control Center or settings and see if your phone starts ringing normally.

Your issue might be linked to call forwarding being active, which happened to me once. Check by going to ‘Settings’, ‘Phone’, and then ‘Call Forwarding’. Make sure it’s turned off to receive calls directly on your phone.

Third-party apps can sometimes interfere with your phone’s functions. I once had an app cause issues with my call settings. Try deleting apps you installed recently one by one to identify if one of them might be the cause.

It’s possible your iPhone has a software glitch. When I had this problem, restarting the phone fixed it temporarily. To do this, press and hold the power button, then slide to power off. After a moment, turn it back on. If this doesn’t help, updating your iOS might solve the problem as updates often include bug fixes.
