How to disable volume up mute on iPhone SE (2022)?

iPhone SE (2022) MMXG3QL/A – iOS 18.4.1


Hi there,

I noticed that pressing the 'Volume Up' button while receiving a call instantly mutes the ringtone, as if I toggled the Mute button (but the phone keeps ringing).

  • Is this an expected behavior on an iPhone SE (2022)?
  • If yes, is there a way to disable this function?

Thanks. :)

Yes, totally expected behavior and exactly how Apple designed your phone to work. Read this --> Answer or decline incoming calls on iPhone - Apple Support
