To turn off silent mode and bring your iPhone back to ring mode, you can either use your phone’s physical switch or use an option in the Settings app. We’ll show you both ways to disable the silent mode.

The easy way to turn off silent mode is to use the physical Ring/Silent switch. If this switch is broken or is faulty, then use an option in the Settings app to disable silent mode. In case your phone’s physical switch is stuck on silent mode, the Settings option will override that and bring you back to ring mode.

If your iPhone is currently in silent mode, then behind this switch, you will see orange color.

To disable silent mode and enable ring mode, flip this switch once so that you don’t see the orange color anymore.

If you can’t use the physical switch to deactivate silent mode, then use an option within Settings to go back to ring mode.

To do so, first, open the Settings app on your iPhone. In Settings, tap “Accessibility.” If you don’t see this option, tap “General” and then tap “Accessibility.”

Tap “AssistiveTouch.”

Turn on the “AssistiveTouch” option.

You’ll now see a gray box on your iPhone’s screen. This box holds an option to enable and disable silent mode on your phone. To reveal that option, tap the box.

In the menu that opens, tap “Device.”

In the “Device” menu, to turn off your iPhone’s silent mode, tap “Unmute.”

And your iPhone is now out of silent mode. You may now close the box and even disable AssistiveTouch if you want.

If you use an iPhone 8 or later running iOS 14 or newer, you can tap your phone’s back two or three times to enable and disable silent mode. You can activate this feature by heading into Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and then choosing an appropriate option.

On older iPhones, you can configure a tap on the AssistiveTouch icon to enable and disable silent mode. To set this up, visit Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch and tap “Single-Tap,” “Double-Tap,” or “Long Press,” depending on what you’d like to use. Then select the “Mute” option.

And that’s how you quickly come out of silent mode on your iPhone.
