   how to prevent iphone from muting calls

   many people have a problem where their iphone silences incoming calls and sends them directly to voicemail. If you’re sure Do Not Disturb isn’t enabled, there are a few workarounds you can try.

   First, make sure you don’t have call forwarding turned on and that mute unknown calls is also turned off. you can find both here:

   • go to settings.
   • tap phone.
   • scroll down and turn off call phone forwarding.
   • scroll down and disable mute unknown calls.

   When mute unknown calls is enabled, any calls from an unknown number, such as telemarketers and scammers, will be forwarded to voicemail. if you think you can receive legitimate calls from unknown numbers, it’s probably worth keeping this option off.

   if that doesn’t solve your problem, the other setting to check is screen time.

   • in settings
   • tap screen time
   • then tap communication limits and enter the passcode if prompted.
   • during screen time and during idle time should be set to all.

   If you have screen time enabled, it is possible to block some phone calls during screen time and during idle time. to make sure you don’t miss a call, you want to set both for everyone.

   If you’re still having problems, then of course the most obvious place to check is do not disturb. want this setting to be turned off. it’s also worth making sure the volume isn’t reduced to zero.
