My iPhone Silent button is not working

Go into setting and you’ll see “action button.” Just scroll to the action you want to use and back out. Should fix the issue.

same for me. silents button not working, nothing. 16 pro Max

Assuming you haven't changed what the Action button does on your iPhone, long-press the Action button (you should feel the haptic feedback emit three pulses). To confirm that your iPhone 16 is silenced, short press the Action Button. A "Silent" icon should appear in the Dynamic Island to signal the change.

Hope this helps.

Does nothing. Mine goes to camera and that is it

My iPhone 16 does not ring for medical appointments or anything I have set it for LOUD and vibrate. How can I fix ? I check for silent I DONT feel it in pocket!!!

Holding that upper left button for an extended period doesn’t garner any result for me at all???

no any three pulses feeling, after long-press of the action button. However silent icon appears and signalling the changes

Did you do as recommended above?

Thank you

Yes sorted thank you

It changes routinely, apparently that button gets tapped when I put the iPhone in my pocket, There is NO identification that the setting was accedentally changed, I MISS phone calers
