I checked all the settings I read about to check as a possible source of the problem, and did not have:

  • Do Not Disturb enabled
  • The mute side button on
  • Notifications not set up properly
  • Silence Unknown Callers enabled


After a trip to the Genius Bar, it was fixed by going to Settings>Accessibility>Face ID & Attention and disabling Attention Aware Features. I don't know if I ever enabled that myself or it was enabled in a previous IOS update. I think this is a bug because that is not the expected behavior of this feature.
