Apartment door buzzer not working with iPhone 12

To let people into my apartment building, the outside buzzer connects to my iPhone and I press 9 to let people in. This worked with iPhone 8 but is not working with iPhone 12. The management company has looked into technical issues and there are none.

Does anyone’ have any solutions to this problem? Are there settings on iPhone 12 that need to be changed? Thank you

iPhone 12, iOS 14

  • What's the exact version of iOS 14 you have installed? This is in Settings > General > About.
  • Have you confirmed the software for the doorbell is compatible with the iOS version you're using?
  • Is the firmware for the doorbell up-to-date?
  • What's the name and model of doorbell you're using?
  • How do you link this to your iPhone? Are you using HomeKit or do you have software from the manufacturer installed?


Best regards.

Hello hvan22,


Thanks for following up. For us to assist, we will need to know what software and model of apartment buzzer system you're connecting with, as well as, how it is controlled by your iPhone (HomeKit or other software). Also, making sure that both your iPhone and the apartment buzzer software and firmware are up to date is important. The current iOS version available for your iPhone model is iOS 15.0.1.


You mentioned that you've worked with the management company in an attempt to resolve this issue; what troubleshooting actions did they perform? Was the apartment buzzer software removed and reinstalled to your iPhone? The more details you provide, the better positioned we'll be to assist.


Thanks.
