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!!!
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!
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.
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
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!
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 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 RUclips could help. My phone is ringing now
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.
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.
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 .
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 😍
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).
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much! I turned on change with buttons and I can finally adjust my ringer volume. I felt like one of those people that always have their ringer set too loud, but I couldn't figure out why it didn't adjust. Until today, that is!!!
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 😂 😂 😂
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!!!
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!
You can add another grateful new iphone user to your long list of people helped by the first 30 seconds of this video. The orange flip switch was also silencing my text notifications. Thank you!
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!!
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!
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
Thank you very much for this video. You fixed in several sentences what Verizon tech couldn’t figure out. So I educated him. And myself. I never noticed that tiny button and I had inadvertently switched the sound off. With a vinyl case on my phone, I never noticed it. Once I took the case off. Voila 🙏
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
I was looking at several RUclips 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.
Oh my God!! This has been bugging me for weeks, nothing I’ve done has got my ring volume to work!! Thanks guys! The crossed out bell immediately went off! Thanks so so much!! 😁
At 70 & never having a cellphone I got the 10xr. Wasn’t surprised I had no calls but kept getting ‘missed call’. That “do not disturb” button was the culprit. Thanks guys...that fixed it.
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!
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.
After spending an hour trying to do this on my own, I only needed 43 seconds of your video to fix my wife's iphone. Outstanding explanation! Job well done!
Thank you so so much! Lol who knew it was such a simple fix!! I’ve been angry at my iPhone for the past two weeks bc it wouldn’t ring and I never even noticed that little switch before😂 YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!
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.
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!
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.

Me too. Same thing, again! I’d forgotten about that little button.🙄
Thanks, I solved my wife's problem in the first 28 seconds of your video. You guys are great.

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!
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.

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.
LOL, had switch off...took 3 seconds to fix after I hit click on your video! Thanks.
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 .

Your comment about waiting at the genius bar was perfect (precovid).
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.
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.
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.
You're absolutely right, and that's good insight! We'll keep that in mind moving forward.
I cannot thank you enough! One flick of a switch and I was able to fix both of my Iphones. Thank you!!!
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.
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!
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.
One of the most simply useful videos I have seen to fix an issue (iphone not ringing).
Yea! My phone is ringing again. Thank you! Your instructions were on point. It was the tiny switch above the volume buttons! Who knew? You guys did!
Thank you!!! Watched 40 seconds and you sorted my phone.
My wife's problem was the first one you mentioned. Thanks for your video it really helped to know what to look for.
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!
Change with buttons was my issue. Thank god for this video.
Fantastically helpful. That little switch did the trick! Whew. Thank you so much!
Change with buttons finally solved my problem....thanks so much
Thank you so much! I turned on change with buttons and I can finally adjust my ringer volume. I felt like one of those people that always have their ringer set too loud, but I couldn't figure out why it didn't adjust. Until today, that is!!!
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 😂 😂 😂
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.
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.
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. 😀
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!!!
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!
Thanks much. I’m a senior and had no idea what I did, lol. Easy fix as you said from the start. Thanks again.
You can add another grateful new iphone user to your long list of people helped by the first 30 seconds of this video. The orange flip switch was also silencing my text notifications. Thank you!
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
# 1 advice fixed a problem that's been bothering me for months. Thanks guys!
Tesh Sahle
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!!
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!
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.
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 can't thank you enough! You have restored my faith! I CAN do this!!
Thank you very much for this video. You fixed in several sentences what Verizon tech couldn’t figure out. So I educated him. And myself. I never noticed that tiny button and I had inadvertently switched the sound off. With a vinyl case on my phone, I never noticed it. Once I took the case off. Voila 🙏

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!
Fixed my mom's iPhone using this video. Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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
Finally, someone explained perfectly. thanks so much
Thank you for your precious instructions. They are going to be very helpful now and later! I just hope I can do it when my iPhone 8+ stops ringing‼️
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.
Oh thank you! I was going crazy trying to figure out why my phone was not ringing! Your first hint worked for me!
Fixed a work related issue less than a minute in. You guys rock for getting right to the fixes
Very good information onthe video. I just turned my ringer on. The side button!!! Was off.
I was looking at several RUclips 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.
I totally forgot about that switch. Omg. Weeks now I’ve been trying to fix the issue. 🤦♀️🤦♀️. Thank you guys.
thanks guys!!! i had no idea about the little switch above the volume keys!!!
Oh my God!! This has been bugging me for weeks, nothing I’ve done has got my ring volume to work!! Thanks guys! The crossed out bell immediately went off! Thanks so so much!! 😁
At 70 & never having a cellphone I got the 10xr. Wasn’t surprised I had no calls but kept getting ‘missed call’. That “do not disturb” button was the culprit. Thanks guys...that fixed it.
Fixed my problem in less then a minute. Thank you!!!
I’ve had this problem for several months, “change with buttons” did the trick. Thank you.!!!!
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!!
The switch above the volume buttons. Yes....you just saved me a trip to the Apple store. Thank You!!!
Thank u so much. I really didn’t know the usage of the button which is above the volume buttons. I fixed it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Omg 😆 Thank You Soooo Much!! You helped me out!!

Thank you guys. My phone rings now thanks to you!
After spending an hour trying to do this on my own, I only needed 43 seconds of your video to fix my wife's iphone. Outstanding explanation! Job well done!
Thank you. This was great. It was that side of phone switch was off.
Wow, I want to thank you so much. The button on the side was not pushed up. Your RUclips video helped me.
Happy to help, Happy Reality!
Thank you so so much! Lol who knew it was such a simple fix!! I’ve been angry at my iPhone for the past two weeks bc it wouldn’t ring and I never even noticed that little switch before😂 YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!
Thanks so much. That button on the left side worked.
I seriously was stumped on how my ringer was on mute. Didn’t realize I hit the little button lol thanks 🙏🏾
No problem! Hope you subscribe! :-)
Thanks, Watched to the end but the switch got it!!
Fixed in the first 30 seconds of the video. Thanks guys!
Love the efficient pace of this presentation!
Thank you for the information 🙂
I was wondering why my phone wasn’t ringing.
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.
Thank you! Issue resolved, frustration gone! So grateful!
Excellent video! Went thru every fix. None worked. Getting desperate. Finally turned phone off then on. Got my ringer back!
Thank you so much!! I have just spent nearly an hour trying to fix and it was the little ringer button!
Thanks guys, it worked the firs time with the switch above the volume buttons.
Thanks for your simple and clear explanations & video - my phone is ringing again. Much appreciated.
Awesome! Fir me was the red button pushed all the way down. Thanks!
Oh my word…glad you went straight to the silent button. Thanks. I feel completely lame now after shutting my phone off half a dozen times.
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!
Thanks so much for this video...ever since I bought my iPhone it’s not always ringing out..but I just fixed it now😊😊😊 Thanks so much
