calls are not ringing while on facetime

When people call me through WhatsApp or the regular phone app and I’m on a FaceTime call, it does not show a missed call notification or an incoming call. It also does not ring or vibrate. I have silent mode off and have no do not disturb/focus functions on. I only find out about the calls when they tell me (in real life) that they were calling me and I did not answer. The calls are shown in Notification Center, however, I am not given a notification for them. Is there any way to solve this in settings? It is a very important issue for several reasons related to family.

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hello politotito,


Thanks for asking about Notifications while on a FaceTime call. We're happy to help.


First, ensure you are updated to iOS 16.6.1, as a new iOS can solve issues if they are caused by something in the iOS.


Next, turn Notifications OFF for the apps with an issue. Then restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Then, turn them back on. If it still isn't working for the built-in iPhone app, please contact Apple Support: Get Support


Thanks.
