If your iPhone 16 Pro isn’t giving you sound alerts for calls or texts after the latest update, try checking your Focus settings (like Do Not Disturb), make sure the volume is up, and that the mute switch isn’t on.


Sometimes after an update, settings can shift a bit. A quick restart can help too. If all else fails, it might be worth resetting your notification settings or checking with Apple Support just in case it’s a bug.
