No sound when messages arrive on iPhone: how to fix it

If your iPhone makes no sound when a message arrives, check that silent mode and Focus are off. Then make sure Settings › Sounds & Haptics › Text Tone is not “None” and that Sounds are on in Messages notifications. If one person’s messages are silent, Hide Alerts is on in that chat.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Why is there no message sound on my iPhone?

Silent mode, an active Focus, a text tone set to “None” or notification sounds turned off are the most common causes.

02

What if messages from one person are silent?

Hide Alerts is on in that chat. Tap the person’s name to turn it off.

03

The settings are right but there is no sound at all. What should I do?

If music and video have no sound either, the speaker should be checked; diagnosis is free.

04

Will a speaker replacement delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
