Hi breeny101,


Does this continue to report this way if your iPhone is restarted? Restarting can help when experiencing unexpected issues such as this one.


1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider and wait about 30 seconds.
3. Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears to power it back on. Once back on, test to see if this continues.


Check out: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


If this continues, you'll want to reach out to Apple for further assistance. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach out to them here: Get Support.


Have a good one!
