iPhone not ringing after iOS 13 update

I’m having the same issues w or w/o my earbuds. I’ve added the flashing light so I cld visually see my calls coming in. I’ve also powered down my phone and that seemed to work for a few calls but went back silent. So add the flashing light, it helps not missing a call when your phone is right in front of you.

After the latest update (13.1.2) my phone has stopped ringing for incoming calls. Tried all possible options by changing settings and even switching it off n on again. It rang only the 1st time after being switched on and then again back to no rings. It’s very frustrating when I m unaware of important calls coming in from business sources since the phone doesn’t ring at all. Seems like many other people are also facing the same issues. Please resolve this bug soon.

I had the same problem and after talking to several apple reps one of them finally suggested putting the device on recovery mode and resetting it from scratch (don't use a back up, once logged in to iCloud it will retrieve most of your data, I did have to manually update my apps though). This solved my issue and my phone now rings and alerts me to texts! Apparently the software was corrupt and it needed to be removed and reinstalled (resetting it to factory settings on the cloud does not remove hardware). You will need to have iTunes on a computer, below is a link to how to set it on recovery mode, hopefully it helps some of you

I signed up for the beta 13.2 release as a prior poster suggested. I installed that version on my iPhone 10XR. After that my phone now rings on all calls. It’s been working for about 2 days now. Also my Bluetooth is ON BUT I haven’t paired it with my vehicle yet. As others have noted, I think it’s related to some common App or device that’s high jacking the sound. The beta download is free, you don’t have to be a developer, just enroll in the beta program and follow the web links.

Not only I hope they fix this but the battery bug that drains my new iPhone XR ( Had to replace it for another new one ) And all others who have complained.

Guys have a look at our discussion- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250755543

That was ON in my phone, thank you for mentioning this!

Hopefully my phone will ring from now on, but my iPhone 7+ also doesn't alert me for incoming messages on Viber, FB Messanger, etc... the moment I open the app the messages from hours ago buzzes in. :(

First check the "obvious"

1. Silent switch (above volume up button) isn't in silent mode.
2. Settings → Do Not Disturb → Do Not Disturb = OFF
3. Settings → Sound & Haptics → RINGER AND ALERTS:
   1. Slide Volume all the way to the right.
   2. Change with Buttons = OFF

   2. Change with Buttons = OFF

Follow steps above fixed.

I would recommend you back the phone up via iTunes, and then follow these steps to put the phone in recovery and reinstall 13.2.

restore the backup and and see how it goes from there.

How to Enter iPhone DFU Mode

1. Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes.
2. Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone) if it isn't off already.
3. Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button.

Correction on the DFU procedure. Pulled up old instructions. Here is the instructions for iPhone 8, X, and 11 (all versions)

If all else has failed, you may need to restore your iPhone; if it won't restore normally, you'll need to put it into DFU mode.

1. Plug your iPhone X or iPhone 8 into your Mac or PC.
2. Make sure iTunes is running.
3. Turn Off your iPhone X or iPhone 8 (if it isn't already).
4. Press and hold down the On/Off button on the right side of your iPhone for 3 seconds.
5. Press and hold down the volume downbutton on the left side of your iPhone while still holding down the On/Off button.
6. Keep holding both buttons down for 10 seconds. (If you see the Apple logo, you've held them too long and will need to start again.)
7. Let go of the On/Off Button but keep holding the volume down button for about 5 seconds. (If you see the "Plug into iTunes" screen, then you've held it too long and will need to start again.)
8. If the screen stays black, that's it! Your iPhone 7should now be in DFU mode.

At this point, iTunes should show you an alert saying it's detected your iPhone 8 or iPhone and will allow it to be restored.

I'm sharing this as I spent 3 days back and forth with T-Mobile over this issue. Every time I get a call that's not from a friend in my contacts it wouldn't even ring, just shows missed call. I was told check Bluetooth, check ringer, check Do Not Disturb settings, etc. Then, a girl at TMO told me to go into Settings > Phone > Uncheck 'Silence Unknown Callers'. And now it's resolved! Sometimes this is getting triggered during iOS updates, so check it if you're having a problem. It was painful to go back and forth with them for days to now see this is all it was!

in settings you will see "silence While iPhone is locked. So it will not ring while phone locked. Go down one line and then "allow calls from "everyone" which should allow ring tone even when phone locked.

Yeah I am having the same problem. I have missed a week of calls and texts. My contract is up so either fix this soon or I'll just switch. I am usually not picky about minor bugs, but missing calls and txt in my line of work is a huge no-no.

Same issue here and I’m ****** off! iPhone SE. Worked perfectly until the 13.1.2 update. Now I’m missing calls and texts. Does work normally for 5-10 min after turning the phone on and off then starts acting up. I’ll get android soon if this isn’t fixed.
