So, in this post, we\u2019re going to discuss the fix for iPhone calls going straight to voicemail.<\/p>\n<p>The tech giant behind the iPhone, Apple, is known for the premium quality of its gadgets. Along with providing promising gadgets, Apple offers a cloud service, a music subscription model, and much more. Out of these, the iPhone is considered one of the most successful offerings by Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the iPhone is perceived as a status symbol globally. With every launch, Apple increases the price of the iPhone, but it still manages to see the crowd outside every Apple store to grab the newly launched iPhone. Apple has successfully attained a promising space in the minds of its consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst all the promising features, sometimes users face an issue with the iPhone, which delivers calls directly to voicemail. However, that can be due to a minor software bug, but in every update, Apple tries to address and solve the bugs. But it can be that you\u2019ve manually changed the settings and that is delivering the calls directly to voicemail.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to discuss every possible setting that can lead to the above issue, and that will help you fix the problem. Apart from manual settings, it can be a network problem too. But let\u2019s dive into the fixes of iPhone calls going straight to voicemail.<\/p>\n<h2>How to fix iPhone calls going straight to voicemail<\/h2>\n<p>As discussed earlier, there can be several reasons that iPhone calls are going straight to voicemail. Sometimes it might happen due to a setting in your iPhone and not because of a software bug.<\/p>\n<p>Before we can jump on to conclusions, we need to ensure that the settings on your iPhone are up to the mark. So, let\u2019s find out the settings you need to keep a check on.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Turn off the silence unknown caller feature<\/h3>\n<p>When this option is turned on your iPhone would send unknown numbers that are not in your caller list directly to the voicemail. And this can be one of the primary reasons why a call goes straight to voicemail without ringing on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>You might see these calls under the recent tab in the calls section. However, to turn this feature off, follow the steps mentioned below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Phone<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<li>Next to the silence of <strong>Unknown Callers<\/strong>, <strong>turn off<\/strong> the toggle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Check for the carrier software updates<\/h3>\n<p>This can be another reason that iPhone calls are going straight to voicemail. Apple keeps the devices up to date by sending in updates at regular intervals. But from your side, you need to check for updates at regular intervals too.<\/p>\n<p>The minor bugs get fixed in the new updates. So, this issue can be resolved in one of the updates. To check for updates follow the below-mentioned steps<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>General<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<li>Open the <strong>About<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<li>If the update is available you\u2019ll see the <strong>update carrier settings<\/strong> option on the screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can simply update and check if the issue is resolved or not. If there\u2019s no option for the update you can further move to other steps.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Check the do not disturb mode<\/h3>\n<p>Chances are high that by mistake you\u2019ve put your iPhone on a <a href=\"https:\/\/cult.technology\/focus-status-on-iphone\/\">do not disturb mode<\/a>. In this mode, your iPhone would directly send calls to voicemail. Or you might have set a particular duration for the do not disturb mode.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that it\u2019s not any of the above-mentioned cases, follow the steps mentioned below<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Focus<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Do Not Disturb<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Turn the <strong>toggle off<\/strong> next to the do not disturb option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Turn off the do not disturb mode while driving<\/h3>\n<p>When this option is on, your iPhone would automatically turn on the do not disturb mode while you\u2019re travelling on the bus or a train. So, the next thing you need to do is to ensure that it\u2019s not turned on. And here\u2019s how you can do it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Focus<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Driving<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Turn off the toggle next to driving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Turn off call forwarding<\/h3>\n<p>This one is crucial. Many users wouldn\u2019t know that this option is turned on. When call forwarding is on, the iPhone would forward incoming calls to the designated number, and sometimes it might directly send the calls to the voicemail.<\/p>\n<p>It will not ring and directly the call will be sent to the voicemail. However, it depends upon your carrier, whether it allows the call-forwarding feature or not. And here\u2019s how you can check your call forwarding settings.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Phone<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Call Forwarding<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn off<\/strong> the toggle next to call forwarding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>6. Update your iPhone<\/h3>\n<p>You should always keep your iPhone up to date. Regardless of the minor bugs, keeping your phone up to date would just ensure your safety. In the world of the internet where everything is sensitive, you need to keep a check on your privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Updating your phone would be one of those steps. However, updating your iPhone would resolve the voicemail issue. So, if there\u2019s an update available, go for it. And here\u2019s how you can check for the update<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>General<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Software Update<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Download and Install<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To download an update you would require a wifi connection. You can schedule the update to install during the night time.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Contact your carrier<\/h3>\n<p>If these steps don\u2019t seem to work for you then you can simply contact the support team of your carrier or raise a ticket. You would find the instructions to contact their support team on every carrier\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<h2>Summarising<\/h2>\n<p>iPhone being the pool of features, can be overwhelming for its users at the beginning. iPhone offers convenience and a hefty amount of features that just contribute to the overall premium experience.<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues that users face is that iPhone calls go straight to voicemail and we\u2019ve discussed the possible fixes for this post.
