It’s frustrating when your iPhone is not ringing. You may miss some important calls. Why your iPhone not ringing when getting a call? It can happen due to many reasons including a broken speaker, Mute is turned on, Do Not Disturb is turned on, and phone number is blocked etc. In this article, let’s make your iPhone ring.
