You saved me from standing in line for an hour also! As soon as I saw your first instruction… baaamm! It struck me like lightning; never, ever think of this button. Phone fell a flight of stairs, and this is when I started having this issue. Almost drove me crazy trying to figure out why my phone wasn’t ringing!🤯 Thanks guys!!!
I watched numerous videos on this subject. I wasted 30 plus minutes. I then watched your instructional video and the problem was fixed in 28 seconds. You guys always have the best advice. Thank you.
Thank you!!! My 12 year old son's phone would not ring for over a week now. It was so frustrating! Sure enough it was that little button that needed to be flipped above the volume buttons (which I never even knew existed til we just found this video). Hallelujah... you just made our night:) Thank you!
Great advice guys in your first 30 seconds, just tried the silent mode switch and phone ringing reinstated! I have been puzzling over it for an hour, so grateful. Like some others I knew it but forgot, it comes to us all sooner or later!
Yep, "old people" LOL, just did this (little button on the top side - first fix!) for my phone about two months ago..... been missing with my husbands phone all day trying to get it to ring...... duh...... as soon as I pulled this video up, I remembered! Wish I could give you guys two thumbs up! Thank Q
Thanks so much for this video :) I was missing calls because somehow my phone had gone into Do Not Disturb mode . I guess I have flipped it on sometime without realising , so thank you again , great helpful video .
Thank you so much,my silent switch was on!!! I spent about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong,then i said let me see if TH-cam could help. My phone is ringing now
Love the video ... however my fix was different. No ringer recently, tried all your methods but it turned out that the side button which kept wanting to stay in the off position was keeping the phone in 'mute' mode. Even when I held it in the up position and had someone call it would not ring. Then, with case off, and after blowing air into the switch area, I used my thumbnail to carefully apply 'max possible' pressure to the slider button and "bam" it snapped into ON mode. Maybe there was some little crushed up debris in there. Maybe it is still in there but diminished.
I have an iPhone XR and had a problem where not getting text tome but ringtone was OK. from watching this video through and trying the suggestions I found it was a Bluetooth connection to my AirPods which thought it was still active! Great advice, thanks!
Thanks so much! As soon as you indicated the ringer was off if you saw orange, I found the problem. I had tried everything else suggested watching other videos and thought the ringer was on. You two are the Best for Help. Can't say enough thanks for solving the problem.
Palette Forward: Thank you very much for helping me to fix the ringer problem! I spent almost a whole day trying to fix the ringer, I forgot about that button! You guys made it so simple. Thanks again 😍
Thank you so much. I spent a hour trying to get my new phone to ring. I didn't realize there was a button on top on the side. I should have used Utube from the beginning. Thanks again
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Had my daughter's phone ringing again within 41 seconds of watching your video!! I've been trying to figure it out all morning! She lost her phone 2 days ago (somewhere in the house!) And I told her once it was found it needed to make some type of sound so we could find it if lost again. Well, I adjusted all of her settings and her phone still wasn't ringing or making any notifications. I thought I was losing my mind! LOL So thank you for this video and pointing out that little switch. That was exactly the problem (and pretty useless, imo!) Lol 😂 😂 😂
Omg,I thank you guys so much.I was getting ready to take the phone back.Took the letter opener,stuck it in the side of the phone where the orange spot is,and now my phone is ringing,you guys are amazing.
My phone wasn’t ringing. I thought I tried everything until I saw your video. Sounds and haptics was the correct category! Thank you so much for knowing what to do.
I missed two calls from my Neurosurgeon this morning because the phone would not ring. About 4 month old iPhone 11 and all the sudden it stopped ringing! Your video had the fix. Whew! Hope he calls back. . . "Change with Buttons" is awesome!!!
Thank you sooo much guys! It turned out to be the side ‘button’ displayed the red line. I switched it to ‘black’ and BAM, I have a ringer again! I am a new sub to learn more about my iPhone.
OMG, this was my phone. don't know if it is fixed yet or is the problem because my phone goes back and forth not ringing. We will see. Thank you. Well, just tried to call my phone. Still doesn't ring.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! We couldn't figure out the no ring issue for 2 weeks but after watching only a moment of your video the issue was solved. Thanks again.
Of everything I’ve read I was never been able to find the solution to why my iPhone 6 was not ringing. No article mentioned the toggle switch on the side right above the volume controls. Even though I’ve turned it off in the past, I had inadvertently done so when I learned about>Focus>Do Not Disturb. The toggle also controls the keyboard clacking sound. Thanks.
That switch must have been flipped when I put a case on. I would never have thought that Apple would put a physical switch like this on the phone and not even had a screen warning ! Thank you guys! I was ready to do a hard reset and that wouldn't have fixed this either. Your comment about waiting at the genius bar was perfect (precovid).
You guys are amazing. Number one reason was why my phone was not ringing. I didn’t have to watch the full video and I had this fixed...even though I had been watching a couple of videos before yours. Thanks!
My wifes work iPhone has not rung for ages and she thought it was buggered. I only use android but i thought i would have a crack at fixing it. Very first thing to check was the ringer off button on the side and ... Voilà!! fixed in the first 30 seconds of watching. Thanks guys. Very helpful
I was looking at several TH-cam videos about my phone not ringing all the time, and found that your video was easiest to follow. Gotta go; the phone is ringing 😃. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for your tips. I have an iPhone 12. It stops making and receiving calls repeatedly. Every time I had to turn it off and on again. This really annoying. Could this be a hardware issue?
Hi there. The issue I am having is that my iPhone does not ring when CERTAIN numbers call. The numbers are not blocked and I followed all of your other instructions. Any guidance would be great. Thanks!
Under Settings/Phone there is a button called "Silence Unknown Callers". If this is on then turn it off. I turned it on because I thought it meant callers shown as "Unknown" while what it really means is that all callers that are not in your contact list will be blocked! Not a usefull button. Even when ATT help called me it would not ring. Of course, ATT Help was no help in finding the problem.
You've gotta be kidding me!! Had no idea there was a even a button there. Have been troubleshooting this for like 30 minutes and was starting to lose it hah! Thank you!!
My comment seems to have disappeared. The very first thing you said that everyone probably knows -- well, I did not know about that and that was my problem. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much, the button on the side was down, so easy when you know how. I’ve been scratching my head for days trying to work it out. Very much appreciate your knowledge.
Thank you so much! This is my first Iphone and could not figure out why I was missing so many calls. So I called my phone and saw it wasn't ringing. Your first example solved my problem! You guys are the best!
Thank you so much for your info. My question please is my phone is ringing intermittently, but as vibrates on ring & silent is turned on, only vibrates without ring, most of the time. Next call may ring. Out of 30 calls there were 6 rings the rest were vibrating only. Please can you help to solve what seems a simple issue but causes so much time without solution. Thanks in advance.
Great tips. One suggestion - when you talk about “turning your iphone off then back on”, many people don’t understand the difference between simply locking the screen (a quick press of the power button which simply turns off the screen), and a true power off - a longer press of the power button until you get the “slide to power off” message.
Thank you! The problem was the button on the left side of the phone!! I'm sure I will be needing to watch more of your videos (because of this new phone!)
FINALLY!! After watching a few other more current videos, their tips were not helping, but I watch this one from 6 years ago and BINGO it worked!!! Thank you SO much!
Aww you young guys are just great. It’s like having a son or nephew to help when I’m stuck. This time my Bluetooth button was on. ( whatever that is)😁 THANK YOU!!!! It rings now!
You saved me from standing in line for an hour also! As soon as I saw your first instruction… baaamm! It struck me like lightning; never, ever think of this button. Phone fell a flight of stairs, and this is when I started having this issue. Almost drove me crazy trying to figure out why my phone wasn’t ringing!🤯 Thanks guys!!!
Thanks, guys. I had checked out numerous "fixes" from others but it worked immediately with the orange switch over the volume buttons.
Fantastically helpful. That little switch did the trick! Whew. Thank you so much!
I watched numerous videos on this subject. I wasted 30 plus minutes. I then watched your instructional video and the problem was fixed in 28 seconds. You guys always have the best advice. Thank you.
Thanks, I solved my wife's problem in the first 28 seconds of your video. You guys are great.
LOL, had switch off...took 3 seconds to fix after I hit click on your video! Thanks.

Thank you for this video. I was frustrated by my iPhone 6 not ringing. It was the little orange button. Your video helped a lot!
My phone doesn’t ring at all it just tells me I missed a call. Update if you go to settings phone. make sure your silence unknown callers is off
Thank you!!
Yes, this was my problem. Thank you!
Yep!
VERY HELPFUL...THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
You’re a gem!!!! This is what I came here for ❤️
Thank you so much! The ringer is now back on. I had no idea that that orange space was the reason. This is my first iPhone so I’m still learning.

No ringer recently, tried all your methods but it turned out that the side button which kept wanting to stay in the off position was keeping the phone in 'mute' mode.

My wife's problem was the first one you mentioned. Thanks for your video it really helped to know what to look for.
Change with buttons was my issue. Thank god for this video.
Very good information onthe video. I just turned my ringer on. The side button!!! Was off.
I have an iPhone XR and had a problem where not getting text tome but ringtone was OK. from watching this video through and trying the suggestions I found it was a Bluetooth connection to my AirPods which thought it was still active! Great advice, thanks!

One of the most simply useful videos I have seen to fix an issue (iphone not ringing).
Thank you!!! Watched 40 seconds and you sorted my phone.
Thanks much. I’m a senior and had no idea what I did, lol. Easy fix as you said from the start. Thanks again.
Wow -- 45 seconds into this video and my problem is solved. LOVE that! Who even knew about that switch? It looks like a place for power input!
I can't thank you enough! You have restored my faith! I CAN do this!!
Thank you. This was great. It was that side of phone switch was off.

My phone wasn’t ringing. I thought I tried everything until I saw your video. Sounds and haptics was the correct category! Thank you so much for knowing what to do.
Another possibility is a glitch in the OS. Check to see if an update is available under Settings
I cannot thank you enough! One flick of a switch and I was able to fix both of my Iphones. Thank you!!!
Fixed my mom's iPhone using this video. Thanks!
Thank God for you guys. When I canNOT figure something out on my iPhone, I am learning to find a video from you for the quickest, easiest fix.
I missed two calls from my Neurosurgeon this morning because the phone would not ring. About 4 month old iPhone 11 and all the sudden it stopped ringing! Your video had the fix. Whew! Hope he calls back. . . "Change with Buttons" is awesome!!!
I didn't even realize that little switch was there!!! Fixed! Thanks!! A week of frustration and less than 45 seconds into the video to fix.
Thanks. The ringer toggle is easily switched off. Easy fix.
Thank you sooo much guys! It turned out to be the side ‘button’ displayed the red line. I switched it to ‘black’ and BAM, I have a ringer again! I am a new sub to learn more about my iPhone.
A big one they missed: Settings > Phone > Announce Calls > “Always”
Ishan Patel THANK YOU!!! That was it for me.
Thank you!! I have been searching so long for this answer.
Yes, that was my problem!
Oh good lord, yes! That was it for me too!

Fixed my problem in less then a minute. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the information 🙂
I was wondering why my phone wasn’t ringing.
Thanks so much. That button on the left side worked.
Thanks. Clearly it's something I moved (the little switch) accidentally and would never have figured this out on my own! Your channel is top notch!!
Awesome video thank you Guys 🤦🏾♀️ Simple fix & didn’t even have to Watch nothing but a few seconds

Thank you so much, sir. It took you 20 seconds (into the video) to solve what an apple employee could not solve after 45 minutes on the phone.

I totally forgot about that switch. Omg. Weeks now I’ve been trying to fix the issue. 🤦♀️🤦♀️. Thank you guys.

You went for months without your telephone ringing? or it ring sometimes and some other times it didn’t.

You've gotta be kidding me!! Had no idea there was a even a button there. Have been troubleshooting this for like 30 minutes and was starting to lose it hah! Thank you!!
Went into hospital for surgery, and gave my daughter phone she must have flipped switch up. Thanks for the info you guys are worth millions.
Omg I spent hours trying to fix an iPhone for my senior citizen neighbor. It was the button on the side preventing the ring!! Thanks a million
Whew thanks guys, switching the button on the left did it for me
SAME! Thanks much!
Same here! Such an easy button to overlook, and I didn't even know what it was for!
Of course the first thing to correct my issue was these. As forgot all about this switch, and had tried everything else to correct it. 😀
Fixed in the first 30 seconds of the video. Thanks guys!
My comment seems to have disappeared. The very first thing you said that everyone probably knows -- well, I did not know about that and that was my problem. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for this. My "no ring" problem was the Bluetooth issue you described. I hadn't seen that fix in any of the info I could find online.
Wow, I want to thank you so much. The button on the side was not pushed up. Your TH-cam video helped me.
Happy to help, Happy Reality!
Thank you so much, the button on the side was down, so easy when you know how. I’ve been scratching my head for days trying to work it out. Very much appreciate your knowledge.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU! It was the first silincer button!
Excellent video! Went thru every fix. None worked. Getting desperate. Finally turned phone off then on. Got my ringer back!

thanks guys u helped me mix my phone
OH my. Thank you so much. I never even knew that tiny switch was there. You saved me a lot of stress. Thank you, gentlemen.
My ringer mutes everything besides the camera sound do you know what I can do?
I’ve seen my ringer on and it still doesn’t ring, and do not disturb is off as well.
Debbie Try Settings > Phone > Announce Calls > “Always”
@@Ishan.patel91 still doesnt work
Try looking for an OS update under Settings. There has been a known glitch that causes this problem
Did you try the little switch above the volume buttons? That helped mine, and many others!)

AWESOME! How do you reduce the number rings before sending to voicemail? My iPhone rings entirely too many times before transitioning to voicemail.
It was the side button thank you So Much 👍👍🥰🥰
