What is happening
Since October 22, TBTL readers have told us their iPhone stopped ringing for incoming calls after they updated to iOS 27.0.1. For some, calls still vibrate. A few say the phone behaves as if it's in silent mode no matter where the switch is, and one lost keyboard clicks and text alert sounds too. Reports come from the iPhone 15, iPhone SE (3rd generation), iPhone 12 mini and other older models, on iOS 27.0.1 and 27.2. As of November 3, 14 different readers have reported it or tapped I have this too, which clears our 10 reader bar. We haven't found matching iOS 27 threads elsewhere, and Apple hasn't commented. First reported to us by a reader on October 22.
What to try
- Restart the iPhone.
- Open Settings > Sounds & Haptics and check that the Ringtone and Alerts slider is up, then check the Ring/Silent switch (or the Action button and Control Center on newer models) to make sure silent mode is off.
- Make sure a Focus isn't silencing calls.
- Report it to Apple Support so it is logged.
What readers are telling us
No sound when receiving messages
iPhone older on iOS 27.2, November 8
