There could be several reasons why your iPhone is vibrating and not ringing. Let’s go through some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve this issue.
1. Check the Silent switch: The first thing you should do is check the Silent switch on the top left side of your iPhone. Make sure it is not set to ON. If the switch is orange, it means the Silent mode is activated, and your iPhone will only vibrate for incoming calls and notifications. Flip the switch to the off position to enable the ringer.
2. Adjust the volume: Open the Settings app on your iPhone and go to Sounds & Haptics. Under the Ringer and Alerts section, make sure the volume is not set to the lowest level. If it is, slide the volume slider to increase the volume. You can also test the sound by playing a ringtone from the Sounds & Haptics settings.
3. Check the Do Not Disturb mode: If your iPhone is in Do Not Disturb mode, it will not ring for incoming calls. To check this, go to Settings and tap on Do Not Disturb. Make sure it is turned off or adjust the settings to allow calls from specific contacts or repeated calls.
4. Check the ringtone settings: It’s possible that the ringtone you have selected is not playing sound. Go to Settings, tap on Sounds & Haptics, and then tap on Ringtone. Select a different ringtone and test if it plays sound when someone calls you.
5. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes a simple restart can fix minor software glitches. Press and hold the power button until you see the power off slider. Slide it to power off your iPhone. Wait for a few seconds, then press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears. Your iPhone will restart, and you can check if the issue is resolved.
6. Reset settings: If the above steps didn’t work, you can try resetting your iPhone’s settings. Go to Settings, tap on General, then scroll down and tap on Reset. Choose the option to Reset All Settings. This will not erase your data but will reset all the settings to their default values. Note that you will need to set up your preferences again after the reset.
If none of these steps solve the issue, it’s possible that there could be a hardware problem with your iPhone’s speaker or audio components. In that case, it’s recommended to contact Apple support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
Remember, these troubleshooting steps may vary slightly depending on the version of iOS you are running on your iPhone.
