Neither of those settings is applicable if you don't have "Do Not Disturb" turned on in the setting at the top of that screen; i.e., if Do Not Disturb is turned off, it doesn't matter whether you have selected "Always" or "While iPhone is locked."


If you have Do Not Disturb turned off and your phone is not ringing when a call comes in, the first thing to check is the ring/silent switch on the side of the phone. It can be accidentally set to the silent position.
