How to enable WhatsApp call sound on iPhone - in detail?

To enable WhatsApp call sounds on your iPhone, you need to ensure that both the Do Not Disturb (DND) mode and the Focus modes are properly configured. Here's a detailed guide to help you achieve this:

  1. Check for Silent Mode:

    Ensure your phone is not in silent mode. The switch on the left side of your iPhone should be set to ring, allowing all sounds to play. If it's set to silent, only vibrations will occur.

  2. Adjust Do Not Disturb (DND) Settings:

    • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
    • Scroll down and tap on "Focus" (previously known as "Do Not Disturb").
    • If DND is enabled, it will say "Manual" or "Scheduled". Tap on it to turn off DND mode.
  3. Customize Focus Mode for WhatsApp:

    • In the Focus settings, select a specific mode (e.g., "Do Not Disturb", "Work", etc.).
    • Scroll down and tap on "Allowed Notifications". This allows you to customize which notifications bypass the focus mode.
    • Turn on the toggle for WhatsApp. This ensures that WhatsApp calls will still ring even if the Focus mode is active.
  4. Check Specific App Settings:

    • Go back to the main Settings menu and tap on "WhatsApp".
    • Ensure that the toggles for Notifications are turned on. You can also customize further settings such as Sounds, Badges, and Alerts.
  5. Verify WhatsApp Call Settings:

    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Tap on "Settings" (gear icon at the bottom right).
    • Go to "Notifications".
    • Make sure that the toggles for "Calls" are turned on and set the ringtone you prefer for WhatsApp calls.
  6. Update Your Phone:

    • Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS, as software updates often include bug fixes and improvements related to notifications and sounds.
    • Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any available updates.

By following these steps, you should be able to enable WhatsApp call sounds on your iPhone effectively. If you still encounter issues, it may be helpful to restart your device or even reset the notification settings for WhatsApp.
