I just got my new Iphone 11 and I love it! However, when I switch the phone into silent mode with the switch on the top left of the phone it will still ring when I get texts/calls. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix it so that the switch does turn it off and I don't have to manually change the ring volume?
Thanks!
iPhone 11, iOS 13
There isn't any software option that you can change to fix that. See: How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode - Apple Support
If your phone is still within the return period, you may want to consider exchanging it.
If you purchased it in an Apple Store or Apple online, see: Returns & Refunds - Shopping Help - Apple
If through an Authorized Reseller, check with them.

Yea that's dumb. Chances are the people listed in favorites are the most likely to call or text me in a business meeting when I do not want to make any sounds hence SETTING MY PHONE TO SILENT MODE
You may not like it but, it's working as designed. You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
Fox Fifth, if you read what I said you'll see that I did in fact follow the way to turn it in silent the link you provided doesn't help.
Is there something that I'm missing in the settings that may be causing this problem anyone know?
Thanks!

Apparently it should say Silent******* Mode
******Not silent at all
You are right the design is dumb and should be adjusted to reflect what the customer wants/expects... I would never expect "Silent Mode" to ring. At least in Do Not Disturb, it prompts you that it will ring if favorites call...Silent mode has NO DOCUMENTATION STATING THAT ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THIS THREAD
Apparently Apple, a company all about the Customer Experience, has never thought about how irritating it is to have your phone constantly go off in business meetings and not knowing why your phone is still making noise.
No. What I was trying to say is that there is no option in Settings that would cause that.
Right...this is a bug and needs to be fix
It will still ring if the people calling are listed in Favorites.

I never said it was dumb; you did.
Going on about it here accomplishes nothing. Tell Apple. They are the only ones who can do anything about it.
