Keyboard clicks and Lock Sounds are off

I have tried everything to restore keyboard click and lock sounds after an OS update on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Nothing is working. Any suggestions? Or explanations as to why this keeps happening. Last time I spent an entire day working on restoring it.

Hello NicoletteBG.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you no longer hear keyboard clicks or audible lock sound when you get messages. We are happy to help.


Please go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Clicks. Do you see Keyboard Clicks enabled? How about Lock Sound?


Please view the steps in the sections titled “Put your iPhone in Ring/Silent mode” and “Change ringtones, sounds, and vibrations” to ensure that the Ringer And Alerts are turned up: How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode - Apple Support


Here you will find more information on using tones: Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Let us know the results.


Take care.

I have EXACTLY this same problem on my iPad Pro 12.9”, only worse - as notification alert sounds are also not operational.


No sound when a imessage arrives, or a facetime request is received.


I get notified visually on the screen to both, both no sound locked or unlocked.


Keyboard clicks are on, and have been cycled on and off. Do not disturb is off.

iMessage and facetime have alert sounds enabled and assigned.


I first noticed it this morning when I plugged in the iPad - no sound - normally it makes some kind of ding.


I did update several apps this A.M. prior to plugging in.


I updated youtube, photoshop express, outlook, microsoft translator, espn: live sports and scores, kik, bbc news, and api healthcare.


It is a 2nd gen., running ipadOS 13.6, with 27gb available.


I have completely shut & powered down the iPad three times to no avail.


Help!!


I use this as a phone, these sounds are critical to me.

I’m beginning to believe this is a software issue.

patch me, pls


thnx, jon
