iPhone 11 silent mode

I do not want silent mode on whatsoever. But I cannot “uncheck” either always or while I phone is locked in settings. Either setting silences the iPhone while it locked! I do not want to silence my phone while it’s locked at all! Every time I turn around my ringer is turned off and I am missing calls. Please help this is very aggravating.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Greetings Dirtking324,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems you'd like to ensure Do Not Disturb is disabled, as you're unable to uncheck an option for silencing your iPhone.


Since Do Not Disturb is turned off, the silence settings are not affecting your iPhone. Once Do Not Disturb is turned on, then the options of silencing your iPhone always or when your iPhone is locked will take affect. You can read more information in the following article: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


You're welcome to leave feedback to Apple with your thoughts on this setting at the following website: Feedback - iPhone - Apple


Kind regards.

I’m sorry, I assume so because without doing so my phone is always on silent… I can turn the volume up put it in my pocket and two hours later it will be on silent again. Turn it back up the ringer that is, in an hour or so later it’s turned all the way down and on vibrate again?And when I press the volume up button it says silent mode turned off? It’s very aggravating as I work in construction and run machinery and do not feel my phone vibrating because the whole machine is always vibrating
