How do I fix an unresponsive silent button on my new iPhone 16? All the button does now is flash the black rectangle at the top of the screen. I sure I changed a setting I should not have. HELP PLEASE. Thank you. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Silent mode and volume up Hello, When I turn on the silent mode, volume up key and side button are not working, I can’t rise volume by this button, lock the screen, and take a screenshot. If I turn off the silent mode, side button and volume up key are working properly. I have updated iOS as recommended. iPhone 14, iOS 16.5.

Why is my iPhone 14 Pro stuck on Silent mode? I don't know why this happened, the button does not changed and it still keeps silenced by itself. What could possibly be the reason it can happen? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Open Settings > Action Button and make sure it is still set to the action you wanted it set to. Also remember to get it to do what you've set it to, you have to press and hold the button for a about a full second.
