The experience of using this feature on your iPhone can get ruined if you cannot hear the audio of your WhatsApp Video Status. To fix this problem, we bring you the best fixes for no sound in WhatsApp Video Status on iPhone.

1. Check the Volume Levels of Your iPhone

You may have reduced the volume levels of your iPhone to avoid disturbing anyone around you. Of course, you may not realize or remember that all the time. So it’s only obvious that you increase the volume levels to check if you can hear the sound from your or your contact’s WhatsApp Video Status. Here’s how you can check the audio levels of WhatsApp Video Status.

If increasing the volume levels did not help, you should now check if you have enabled Silent Mode on your iPhone. Though it is meant to silence notifications, you can try disabling it and check if the sound of your WhatsApp Video Status is restored.
