Why does my iPhone 13 keep switching to Silent Mode? My phone keeps toggling between silent and ringer mode on its own even though ringer button is untouched. This used to happen in IOS Versions before 18 and then started occuring after IOS Version 18.3. As a result, i am not notified with any of the notifications including calls and is very problematic.I assume this is a bug issue for it cannot get automatically resolved in few versions of IOS.

IPhone 15 randomly goes into Silent Mode My iPhone 15 randomly but repeatedly goes into Silent Mode. I have followed Apple Community recommendations of updating Focus filters -- and turned off Do Not Disturb altogether -- but it still happens. I have also turned off the top side button's functionality. But still Silent Mode irregularly comes on without warning, causing me to miss important phone calls. I've seen other Apple customers' complaints about the same issue going back to 2023, with no fix that works offered by the Apple Community. I suspect this is a bug that Apple needs to fix.

Flipping that switch does not enable the DND focus.

What makes you think there is a relationship between the two?

Please describe exactly what’s happening, including what focus mode, if any, is enabled before and after flipping the switch.
