Why is my iPhone 15 Pro not ringing for incoming calls?

Settings > Apps > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers.

To keep the ringer volume from being accidentally adjusted, go to: Settings > Sounds & Haptics, and turn off “Change With Buttons.”

Take care!

Original Title: why cant i hear my iphone 15 pro ring when i get a call? its not set to silent and i have the ringtone turned all the way up. i hear nothing and then get a beep after a voicemail is left? Very frustrating when you’re waiting on a call and you miss it because your phone does not ring!

Double check silence unknown caller isn't enabled.

How do you do that? I can't find a way to silence unknown caller. My iPhone 15Pro is also not ringing for incoming calls. The volume bar on left does not stay in maximum vol position either. I don't know when this not ringing started but I do know at one time my iPhone rang normally. ios 18.5

OK, figured it out. Have to go to apps. I did as you suggested. Still no ring with incoming call.

Is there an Apple Watch involved where the calls are be directed there instead of ringing your phone? You didn't mention it, but just checking.

I was having this issue also, and finally found it. Not sure how this got changed, as I don't remember ever changing it, but under

Settings > Apps > Phone - in the second section, there's "Announce Calls" and mine was somehow set to "Never" instead of "Always."

No.no rings on Apple watch either. Just got off chat with Apple support. Useless.

So to confirm, you do have an Apple Watch connected to your phone when it is not ringing?

That particular setting is for when you have headphones connected, as explained in the text below the settings. It doesn't have anything to do with the phone ringing.
