Hi Tarrook,


It seems you're having trouble with silenced calls and we want to help.


If this is happening with everyone and every notification, it's possible you have Do Not Disturb turned on.

Read about it here, and turn it off:

Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


If your iPhone is silent but vibrating, you might have the switch on the side turned to Silent mode. Pull the switch toward the screen to turn off Silent mode:

How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode


Finally, if you're only missing calls from people who aren't in your contacts, you might have Silence Unknown Callers enabled:

Detect and block spam phone calls


Let us know if that helps.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
