I don’t understand the SILENCE setting. I can’t uncheck the setting. There are two options and one is always checked. It is keeping me from getting calls when my iPhone is locked.

My do not disturb setting is NOT on.

How do I change this?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Do Not Disturb and Silence Funciton I'm using ios 14.8 on my iPhone 12. I have had lots of trouble with my phone calls being silenced. Even if don't use the Do Not Disturb function, the SILENCE function still silences my phone calls. Is the problem that with SILENCE you only have 2 choices: ALWAYS or 'when phone locked?' I do have to Allow All calls selected. Thanks for the help!
