When there is No Sound on iPhone, you will not hear ringtones, alarms, music or any other sound coming out from the speakers of your iPhone.

When this happens, it is natural to think in terms of the speakers being damaged or something else being wrong with your iPhone.

However, this problem can also be caused due to iPhone being stuck in Headphone mode, software glitches, change in settings and other fixable issues.

1. Check Ring/Silent Switch and Volume Buttons

Start by inspecting the physical Ring/Silent switch located on your iPhone. Make sure that the switch is pushed towards the screen and not towards the back of your iPhone.

If the switch is pushed towards the back, you will see orange color, which indicates that your iPhone is in silent mode.

Next, play any YouTube Video on your iPhone and try to increase & decrease the volume by using Volume Up and Volume Down buttons.

2. Turn OFF Bluetooth

A common reason for No Sound on iPhone is due to iPhone getting automatically connected to AirPods or other types of Bluetooth Audio devices.

To confirm, go to Settings > Bluetooth > and disable Bluetooth by moving the toggle to OFF position.
