ringing you should first check it&#8217;s not muted and that the ringtone volume is loud enough. It&#8217;s also worth exploring whether you have Focus enabled, if you have reception, and if your mobile plan is working. You can further diagnose by disabling features like forwarding, filtering, handoff, and blocking. If all else fails, restart your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Your iPhone can do a lot more than take calls, but good old-fashioned phone calls are central to the smartphone experience. Sometimes your iPhone won\u2019t ring at all or rings but doesn\u2019t make a sound. Let\u2019s look at what you can do to get things working again.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_iPhone_Isnt_on_Mute\"><\/span>Check Your iPhone Isn\u2019t on Mute<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your iPhone is ringing but doesn\u2019t make any sound, it\u2019s probably on mute (also called silent mode).

Focus can be set up under Settings &gt; Focus and controlled using the \u201cFocus\u201d button in Control Center (swipe down from the top-right-hand corner of your iPhone\u2019s screen).<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the Focus mode you have enabled and how you have set the feature up, only certain contacts may be able to contact you when Focus is enabled. Head to Settings &gt; Focus to customize your settings, whitelist contacts, or allow all calls. You specifically want to change the \u201cAllow Calls From\u201d setting within a Focus mode\u2019s settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-897544\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/allow_calls_focus_iphone.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"&quot;Allow Calls From&quot; Focus settings on iPhone\" width=\"730\" height=\"447\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Some Focus modes can be triggered automatically whenever you start a certain activity.
