My phone has stopped making any alert sounds for incoming phone calls or for text messages. All my settings appear to be fine. Switching the phone on and off has made no difference. This may have started after I opened a text message on my IPad.
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 26
Two iPhone 14s in our family stopped ringing for incoming calls after the iOS 26 upgrade. The problem was resolved by turning the side button on the phone to silent and then back to ring. Use the side button, Home button, and other controls on your iPhone - Apple Support
