Silent mode turning on and off automatically.

My haptics go silent on my iPhone 13 Pro constantly for no reason & don’t go back on. They’re set to control w/buttons, vol is set to max & switch is on so this shouldn’t happen. After I miss enough calls & notif’s I go to settings, turn control w/buttons off then on, hit volume button to max again & it’s back to working again until I notice it’s gone silent again. Really frustrating.

This has to be a bug as so many are complaining and we shouldn't have to do this. I keep on obsessively checking sounds to be sure it's not on silent as I'm missing lots of calls and texts.

Force Restart your phone:

• Press and quickly release Volume Up
• Press and quickly release Volume Down
• Press and HOLD the side button until the Apple logo appears. This could take up to 15 seconds while holding the side button and you will have to ignore anything else on the screen until you see the Apple logo. If it does not appear, try again as it may take a couple of attempts to get the speed and sequence of the key presses correct.

I tried force restart 8 times. Didn't work. It just shouldn't be this complicated. Apple needs to fix this

Next step if you already performed the Factory Reset is to schedule an appointment with Apple. That is a problem that needs to be addressed by them where they can perform diagnostics to reveal the cause.

Did you turn off Smart Activation in each focus settings? DND in particular.

Tried that reboot multiple times & it didn’t fix the prob.

Yes! I have sev friends w/iPhone 13’s who have same prob.

I don't have Smart Activation. My iPhone is 16 Basic

I have it and mine is an SE2022 very basic.

Settings, Focus, Do not disturb, Smart activation, Off.
