Time before divert to voicemail is controlled by your carrier. Call them to extend it to a max of 30 seconds or try this.


dial  **61*NNN*11*XX#

Where NNN is your voicemail number and XX is seconds to ring up to 30

Extending the Ring Tone:

Are you saying the ring tone is short? Or that it is ringing, and is then stopping? Or that it is ringing, and is then fading out?


Turn Off Attention Aware:

Attention Aware features or a setting that causes the ringtone to decrease in volume after a few rings. Check your settings under Accessibility to turn off Attention Aware features, or try changing your ringtone to see if that resolves the issue.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.



See what each update does: About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...
