Lock sound disappeared

Hello,


There always was a sound when my iPhone was being locked even when actual volume is zeroed but silent mode is off. And the loudness of this ring, as I understand, was dependent on whether I look at the screen.

Today I’ve noticed that this sound stopped working. It rings again only after I add some volume.


Why this doesn’t work anymore?

How to return playing lock sound when the volume is zero but silent mode is off?


Thanks,

Nikita


iPhone 11, iOS 13

Try a forced restart and see if that fixes it.


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
