I want my iPhone 12 to ring longer before I get to pick it up.

How do you turn off the alerts?

Hi there billbaystate256,

Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're asking how to extend the amount of time your iPhone rings when an incoming call comes in. We're glad you're here, and we'll point you in the right direction.

The length of time your iPhone rings is ultimately dictated by your cellular network carrier. You'll want to connect with them for more information about how long your iPhone rings, and if that time frame can be adjusted on their end.

For more information about answering calls, selecting ringtones, or adjusting notifications for calls, have a look at the links below:

We hope this information is helpful. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.

Cheers.
