It may happen that you no longer receive a sound for notifications and telephone calls. Although the settings are set properly, the iPhone or iPad does not produce no sound.
This problem can have various causes, so you can set per application and service whether or not they can produce sounds. It is also possible that the non-disturbing function or a focus is active whether you have simply eliminated the sound.
iPhone or iPad stands still
Before you try the solutions below, it is best to check whether you simply have not accidentally switched off the sound on your iPhone or iPad. Above the volume buttons on the side of the device you will find a switch, slide it to the front or rear to switch the sound on or off. When the screen is active, a report appears that indicates the status of the sound during changes. If the switch shows an orange strectry, this means that your iPhone or iPad stands still.
Do you not have a switch, but an action button? Then you can turn the sound on and off via the control panel or via Settings â–¸ Hear and feel â–¸ Silent mode.
Manage noise per notification and services
- Open settings
- Navigate to reports
- Tap an app in the list
- Check if the ‘Sounds’ option is enabled
Repeat this for all apps that you will no longer receive noises. It is also possible that a service, for example mail, no longer gives noises. You can adjust this via Settings â–¸ Hear and feel. Some apps, such as WhatsApp, also have their own sound settings. You can find this in the app itself, for WhatsApp it is settings (in WhatsApp App) â–¸ Notifications â–¸ Sound.
Volume ring tone and reports low
Since iOS 11, the volume for ringtones and reports can no longer be adjusted as standard via the volume buttons or the control panel. If you want to change this, you must do this via Settings â–¸ Hear and feel â–¸ Beltoon and notifications â–¸ Use the sliding switch to adjust the volume. Switch off the ‘Change with buttons’ option.
Focus is active
With the help of non -disturbing or focus it is possible to receive all incoming reports, messages and telephone calls without being informed of this. So when you receive a notification, your iPhone or iPad will not light up, make or vibrate. Exactly how this option works, how you adjust, disable and use this in this Focus manual.
