No sound on iPhone after 18.2.1 update

Since I upgraded to Version 18.2.1 I cannot hear on the phone. I have to use the speaker function. Is anyone else having this problem? How do you fix it?

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

I appreciate the reply and it was helpful. It made me go back over my settings especially anything remotely related to a fix in Version 18.2.1. I wear hearing aids and for years I have had hearing aid compatibility turned on. After your reply, I turned it off and it fixed my problem. Sure seems like the new version conflicts somehow with that setting.
