The silents button on the side of my new phone does nothing when pushed. Is there a setting somewhere that needs tobe changed?

iPhone 16 Pro Max
Update: After further playing around with the Action button including longer press, and turning the silence toggle on/off in sound & haptics, the silence mode reappeared in the island window. I’m not exactly sure what combo produced the result, but glad it reappeared.
Issue resolved :
‘Action Button’ showed (again) what was initially thought, to merely be a tutorial, showing all the options possible for that button and NOT, to actually change the settings of the button.
So, thank you for the solution as I accessed it again and went back to the beginning of the ‘tutorial’ which was the Silent Button function.
(16 ProMax IOS 18.5)
same for me. silents button not working, nothing. 16 pro Max
Did you do as recommended above?
Fixed it, Thanks
Thank you
Does nothing. Mine goes to camera and that is it
My iPhone 16 does not ring for medical appointments or anything I have set it for LOUD and vibrate. How can I fix ? I check for silent I DONT feel it in pocket!!!
Holding that upper left button for an extended period doesn’t garner any result for me at all???
Yes sorted thank you
It changes routinely, apparently that button gets tapped when I put the iPhone in my pocket, There is NO identification that the setting was accedentally changed, I MISS phone calers
no answer yet
Once I followed the instructions above I have never had any issues. Even in my pocket it has not changed from what I set it to.
Thank you! It worked...yeaaahhhh
It did it for me. Thanks so much.
