I am wanting to activate the sound recognition feature in iPhone, I fave selected 9 sounds but I am not getting any alerts or vibrations for any of them and I am not sure how to make it work. I have an iPhone 12 and iOS 17

iPhone 13 Pro Max: No sound for calls, texts, notifications Recently I've been missing phone calls, texts and other notifications on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I discovered that the sound was not coming through. The side slider button is off (not orange, silent mode is OFF) Focus is OFF Change with buttons (sounds & Haptics) is OFF Ringtone and Alerts volume slider is all the way up Reduce loud sounds is OFF Volume limit is OFF Restarted multiple times On iOS 26.2 (not on the beta program) The only way that alerts, rings and notifications can be heard, is if I use the side volume buttons and turn it on.....however shouldn't this only be controlling the media volume separately from the system notifications?

Hi CC1967,

Wondering if you checked whether Sound Recognition is on or off in Control Center:

Eg: Apple Support's article: Recognize sounds using iPhone - Apple Support

says: Tip: To quickly turn Sound Recognition on or off, use Control Center.

Also: for custom sounds you may have added:

You may want to check you have tapped "Start Listening", and followed the onscreen instructions.

(See the bottom section in the above article.)

If needed: You may want to try updating to the newest version of iOS 17

(NB: It is always wise to back-up your data before updating: Back up iPhone - Apple Support)

You can check if an update is waiting to install in Settings > General > Software updates.

(About iOS 17 Updates - Apple Support says iOS 17.5.1 is the latestversion)

If you need more help with using this feature:

You may want to contact Apple's Accessibility Support Team:

How to contact Apple for accessibility support - Apple Support

or

From Apple's Accessibility Support Website

(NB: You can "Get Support" (online chat / phone / email etc.) from the link at the bottom of their website:)

Accessibility Support - Official Apple Support

All the best :-)
