How to return sound in WhatsApp on iPhone - in detail?

If you've noticed that your WhatsApp messages are not playing sound on your iPhone, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Here is a detailed guide to help you restore sound in WhatsApp on your iPhone:

1. Check Notification Settings:

   • Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Notifications."
   • Find and select "WhatsApp" from the list of apps.
   • Ensure that the "Allow Notifications" toggle is turned on.
   • Under the "Alerts" section, verify that the "Sounds" option is enabled.

2. Check Do Not Disturb Mode:

   • Swipe down from the top right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
   • Look for the crescent moon icon and ensure it is not highlighted. If it is, tap on it to disable Do Not Disturb mode.
   • Alternatively, you can check this in the "Settings" app by going to "Focus" > "Do Not Disturb."

3. Check Ringer Switch:

   • Locate the ringer switch on the left side of your iPhone.
   • Ensure that it is not set to silent mode (the orange color indicates silent mode).

4. Check WhatsApp Settings:

   • Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
   • Tap on "Settings" at the bottom right corner.
   • Go to "Notifications."
   • Make sure that the "Sounds" toggle is turned on.

5. Update WhatsApp and iOS:

   • Ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed from the App Store.
   • Also, check for any pending iOS updates by going to "Settings" > "General" > "Software Update."

6. Restart Your iPhone:

   • Sometimes a simple restart can resolve software issues. Press and hold the side button until the slider appears, then drag the slider to turn off your device. Wait for about 30 seconds before pressing and holding the side button again to turn it back on.

7. Check Volume Settings:

   • Make sure that the ringer volume is not set too low. You can adjust this by going to "Settings" > "Sounds & Haptics."
   • Also, check the volume for WhatsApp specifically by playing a voice message or notification sound directly in the app.

8. Reset Network Settings:

   • If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting your network settings. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Transfer or Reset iPhone" > "Reset" > "Reset Network Settings." This will erase all saved Wi-Fi passwords and other network settings, so make sure to note them down before proceeding.

By following these steps, you should be able to restore sound in WhatsApp on your iPhone. If the issue persists, it may be helpful to contact Apple Support or WhatsApp support for further assistance.
