My daughter's iPhone doesn't ring for some callers' calls.

My daughter's phone shows in 'Recents' that there have been calls from several numbers, but she says the phone did not ring or vibrate.


The numbers did not appear to be blocked.


iPhone 8, iOS 16.7.2


Any ideas what we should look for!


Thanks in advance.


Ed in Brooklyn.

Hello~ Are these callers in her contacts? If not check to see if Silence unknown callers is activated…

*To turn on Silence Unknown Callers, go to Settings > Phone, then scroll down, tap Silence Unknown Callers, and turn on the feature. Calls from unknown numbers are silenced and sent to your voicemail, and appear in your recent calls list.


If it’s turned on …it may explain what’s happening.
