Re: iPhone 16E ringer is silenced

['Richard Turner' via VIPhone]

1. Is VoiceOver muted? The action button should speak unless you either have VoiceOver muted, or have it set to vibrate instead of speak. 2. The ringer volume is under settings, sounds and haptics, and it is slider and as you flick up on that combo box, it will ring briefly so you know how loud it is. Next to that is a setting that says change with buttons, you want that off. Otherwise every time you turn the volume down, it will also lower the ringer volume.

I tried calling myself and voila it rang albeit very quietly.  Now to figure out how to increase the ringer volume.

Is there any way to unsilence it other than the action button?
