iPhone does not ring with incoming calls after updating to iOS 17

Since this 15 was released and then the 17ios there’s so many security and malware and functions I have been through I wish I would be able to tell them without being removed.

Check all of your devices. Make sure they are all factory reset. It’s not just the phone calls not incoming. Check accessibility and make sure they aren’t on Auto routing and a random Bluetooth isn’t picking up your calls.

check switch control and anything that could be handoff related.

Hello

Having had to erase all my contents and data and start from scratch without resolving the problem, I just gave up. I have however seen in another thread someone mentioned bluetooth.

Seems that this may work. 1) I sometimes don't have sound coming from a youtube video (that does have sound), it seems that Bluetooth hangs onto a prior connection i.e when sitting in my car that has not been turned on, I swipe to the control centre and it shows that the car's bluetooth has the sound. 2) Same when using iphone for call, Bluetooth hangs onto the fact that I had used my earbuds. Even if the earbuds are no longer in use. 3) have also tested the keyboard clicking issue and this partially explains the problem.

Conclusion-the problem is a software problem from Apple on Bluetooth

I used Chujie17 response to examine my phone. The business block was on. I have never used that and I did not use it now. It would have been moved to on by an update because I have never gone that deep into my phone choices. Thanks CHUJIE17

pretty interesting that in that huge(maybe snide) list that Lawerence gave of possible fixes he DID NOT list the actual fix.

was the business block not really a fix option or was the list just slight of hand?

Check your other devices for a copy of your old phone in the back up…. If it’s still there delete it. I had the old one on my iPad once I deleted it, magically my new phone worked!

Don’t count on Apple fixing it, because it is highly unlikely that it is a glitch in iOS 17, as over a million users have been beta testing it for the past 4 months, and that has not been a reported problem. Use the Support link at the top or bottom of this page to seek help from Apple.

Same problem I could not get my phone to work after I updated iOS 17. Nothing has worked, until I received a call from my daughter (on my favorites and an emergency contact). That rang! Presto. Now my phone rings on incoming calls.

Well, what do we have here? An article in Macworld discussing the iPhone not ringing on incoming calls. Obviously this is an issue.

I am also facing the same issue. I have also gone through the troubleshooting steps and can't seem to figure out how to fix the issue. I have missed a lot of important calls because of this and seems like it might be an ios issue.

It has to be software because my Apple Watch is not longer ringing on calls either. And it wasn't always like that only for the past few weeks.

I've restored from backup and started my phone and watch as new.

Maybe your watch didn't ring but mine did, it also would give notifications of incoming iMessage and my phone would be silent unless I already had the screen on.

Both worked completely fine until last week or two weeks ago until a system update bricked my phone and I had to use my laptop to wipe it and install the software again.

And do you honestly think I wouldn't have tried every basic idea you listed already.

Just because Apple gave you a script to read from doesn't mean you know what is going on.

This is happening to me on my new IPhone 15. The phone rings only for my 3 immediate family members but no other contacts. I did all the troubleshooting mentioned here with no result. Very annoying - missing calls.

I have experienced this as well, as an on call physician. The hospital tried to reach me for 30 minutes with nary a ring. Fortunately the patient was ok. This is disturbing and will force me to look for an alternate solution.
