If the Facebook app on your iPhone is not functioning properly, you can always go ahead and delete the Facebook app cache. But, some users have reported on Apple Community forums that their iPhone is not ringing when the Facebook app is open.

If they minimize the app and return to it, their iPhone gives a notification for incoming calls. But it won’t vibrate or ring at all. In case you are also facing the same, here is our list of solutions to fix iPhone not ringing when the Facebook app is open.

Before moving ahead, update the Facebook app on your iPhone. Also, update the iOS version for your iPhone if you have any pending updates.

Get Facebook App for iPhone

If you have already updated the app and your iPhone’s iOS version, try the following solutions.

1. Turn off Silent Mode on iPhone

Starting with the basics, if you have turned on Silent mode on your iPhone, we suggest turning it off. We often don’t realize keeping our iPhone on Silent mode to stop notification sounds from disturbing us when we are busy. If your iPhone is not ringing but vibrating when the Facebook app is open, you should turn off the Silent mode, and it should do the trick.

You can simply move the switch on the top left side of your iPhone to turn off Silent mode and switch to Ringer mode.

2. Check the Ringtone Volume on iPhone

If turning off Silent mode did not help, you should also check the ringtone volume of your iPhone. This can also be a reason why your iPhone is not ringing when the Facebook app is open. Follow these steps.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on Sound and Haptics.

Step 3: Swipe the slider to increase the Ringtone volume.

Step 4: Close the Settings app and check if the problem is solved.

4. Turn Off Attention-Aware Features

If your iPhone still fails to ring while the Facebook app stays open, you should try turning off the Attention-Aware Features on your iPhone. You must have noticed that a notification will expand only when you unlock your iPhone with Face ID.

Follow these steps.
