Why did my iPhone SE (2022) stop playing notification and charging sounds?

MY HARDWARE: iPhone SE (2022) MMX83LL/A

MY PHONE'S OS: iOS 18.5

Something happened recently, and I can't figure out what it is or how to correct it.

My notification tones for everything from weather alerts, to new

incoming text messages, suddenly stopped. At the same time, when every I

lay my iPhone on my Chi charger, it no longer makes the charging tone.

It's obviously charging, but no tone.

I have no idea what happened, much what to do about it. Any suggestions?

Have you checked the Mute switch on the left side of the iPhone, above the Volume buttons? If you look at it and you see an orange dot move it to the other position.

It sounds like your iPhone's sound settings for notifications and charging tones might have been toggled off or changed. Since you're running iOS 18.5, which is an unreleased developer/public beta (as of May 2025), there's also a possibility of a bug within the beta itself.
