New question: iPad: Facetime not ringing under iOS8 if screen is locked
This is an old question, asked here in 2015.I check in to that discussion every now and again to see if someone has solved it, because my iPad never rings either when it's locked and none of the suggested solutions works. I just checked in again and found this community member's screenshot, which sums up the problem:
Note the setting bottom-right, which is the same as I have in my settings. Under "Silence", you have 2 options: "Always" or "Only while iPad is locked". Presumably - because it's not grayed out - this setting overrides the disabling of "Do not disturb" under "Manual" at the top, so presumably this is what stops my iPad ringing when it's locked. But the alternative, silence "Always", would presumably not solve the problem, just make it worse. But what the "Silence" setting actually does is a mystery. If I set it to "Always", a youtube video plays loud and clear. So what is being silenced "Always"? It's like Rubik's cube, but with no solution.
I would have posted this in the existing discussion, but the "Reply" buttons there were disabled and I found this message: "Looks like no one's replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question."
