iPhone 15 Plus ‘Find My’ audio ping

My iPhone 15 Plus doesn’t play the ‘Find My’ audio tone when on silent or with the volune down - despite Apple saying that it should play the audio (even on silent and/or with the volume down). I’ve checked usual settings etc and pinged it from someone else’s iCloud on a PC. When I go to the phone no audio has played but there is a ‘Find My’ alert notification on the Lock Screen. What do I do to get the audio on silent or with volume down (which - frankly - is when I need the audio otherwise I’d just call it from another phone!)?

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

Yes that’s what I did; but there is no audio when on silent with volume down. That only works when it’s not on silent (for me anyway). I’m asking what I have to do to hear the audio ping when my phone is on silent.

Give Apple a Call:

Is this working on other devices? If so, reach out to Apple Support. It should be working, even if it is muted, no matter the device.
