How do you unselect the SILENCE feature "Only while iPhone is locked" in Do Not Disturb?

This still does not work on iX. It is silent when phone goes locks (after 5 mins) which means no calendar alerts no notices and this is becoming a REAL issue for work.

Tried sounds as well and it does not work. Developers need to let us UNCHECK this please. I don’t have DND on and it still silences Everything when phone locks!!

The option to silence when locked is ONY relevant when DND is turned on. If it is turned off, it has no effect. Unchecking it would serve no purpose.

If you're not hearing alerts when your phone is locked, check the mute switch on the side of the phone and the volume setting.

Try this and it may work. Im looking for answers too as I have the same problem. Just done this myself and hoping it works. Worth a try I reckon. Lock Screen Notifications: Now by default, notification content that appears on the lock screen is kept secret until the owner looks at the phone and Face ID identifies you. Dependent on the circumstances you may want to see the notification content appear, for example whilst you’re sat at a desk without having to pick up your phone so Face ID can identify you. To always see your notification previews Go to Settings > Notifications > Show Previews and select Always.

That feature was not available back in 2013 when the person to whom you're replying posted. It's also not clear what it has to do with the original question. The original question has been answered: "Only while iPhone is locked" only has any affect if Do Not Disturb is turned on.

Its a good suggestion and I do have previews on FOR SOME things. can't do it on all things as if you do, then when you have GPS - then it HIDES your turn area... i'm getting frustrated with Ix and i"ve had iphones since the beginning but i'm getting ready to pitch this thing as its getting more and more frustrating. any other help would be appreciated as this now is not conducive to business AT ALL as no alerts happen or when it does, it decides which ones it wants to notify me of...

Then something is wrong with your phone. Start by restoring if from a back up and testing. If that doesn't resolve the issue, restore from new and test. If neither of those work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store to have the phone evaluated.

I think you are wrong. imessage SMS and phone calls : none of those either make a ring nor vibrate nor notify me, ever.

The only workaround i found is to activate emergency bypass on several contacts. I'm investigating this issue with apple, so far no luck.

No, he's not wrong. Either DND is on or there's something wrong with your phone. What you're describing is not normal behavior.

I have DND enabled on a schedule. I have it set to silence Always. When DND is not turned on, I get all my notifications exactly as expected, complete with sound.

Hey ! I hope this helps you because it helped me ! So I was getting soooo frustrated because I’d receive calls and put a whole bunch of alarms ! None that I could ever hear ! I saw a comment on here and went ahead and did it and it worked so go to settings then click sounds and haptics and turn off vibrate on silent and vibrate on ring ! It worked right after I turned that off ! Hope it helps :)

Specifically my problem is Do Not Disturb feature seems stuck.

If Do Not Disturb is not turned on, then these settings do not matter. They only matter when DND is activated and you choose whether you want DND to work always or only when the phone is locked. If you are not using DND, those settings mean nothing.

I too have this issue. Do not disturb IS turned off but phone is still silent when locked. In settings there is only the option to select silence either Always or Only When Phone Is Locked. There is no option through this route to switch off both. Can you help as its really poor. Thanks

Do not disturbed is switched off. Silent toggle is switched off. I get the text notification sound if the phone is not looked .

If I leave the phone set o never screen lock its ok - but of course this drains the battery very quickly . I need to be able to use the lock function without it silencing he phone :-((
