DO NOT Disturb functions chosen for me?

I want to have my call and message alert sounds when my phone is locked. Why does Apple have this function not available? There is a silence button on the side of the iPhone (red switch) that I use to silence my notifications. Is Apple looking into this to fix it? I have the newest model iPhone 12Max Pro.

Apple does not have this function not available. It works just fine for me.


So you have done something to disable this function if it’s not working for you.


Check your various settings at, for example:

  • Do not Disturb
  • Screen Time
  • Notifications
  • Phone
