Okay, so you have put your phone on silent again, and now you have missed seventeen calls from your bestie. Sound familiar? 😄 Let's actually fix this once and for all, shall we?
First things first — check that orange switch on the left side of your iPhone. If you are seeing a little sliver of orange, that means your ringer is silent. Flip that tiny switch up, and boom! Your ringer is back on like never left.
Now, before you get too excited, take a peek at your volume. Press the volume up button (the one on the right side) and you should hear a quick chime. If the ringer is on but the volume is basically whispering, that chime will tell you just how low it is. Crank it up to a level where you can hear it from another room — because who wants to strain their ears, honestly?
