How can I fix silent button not working on my iPhone 13?

I updated my IPhone 13 to the new IOS. Now I can’t get my phone to go onto silent mode even though my silent button is switched to silent mode. The notification that pops up on my phone isn’t popping up anymore as well

Since the iPhone 13 has a physical mute switch, do you happen to have a case on the iPhone that could be interfering with the switch? If you have a case on, remove it temporarily and test the switch. If it works, then it is the case, if not, then it is probably a hardware issue with the iPhone. If it looks like hardware, then make a Genius Bar appointment at the nearest Apple Store for Service.
