Why cant i hear sound on my apps on iphone

Q: Why is my sound not working on my apps?

Android devices have many different volume controls so its possible the volume youre turning up isnt the one that controls the volume in the app. To double check, go to your device Settings, find the Sound option and then check the volume level of all the controls.

Hello Sharky66!!,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I know having an issue with sound on your iPhone is not what you expect. The good news is the following steps will be helpful in resolving your issue of sound with apps on your iPhone!

Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you hear sound from the speaker, follow the rest of these steps. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
If your device has a Ring/Silent switch, make sure it's set to ring. (If you can see orange, your device is set to silent.)

Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth. Then check the sound again.
Connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset port on your device.
If your device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should have soft, clean, dry bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you follow these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.

If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker

Question: my iphone apps have no sound???

Why do my apps have no sound on my iPhone?

In the app, look for audio or sound settings. Turn off any customized mute options, enable audio, and adjust the volume sliders to increase volume. Depending on the app, either move sliders up, move sliders to the right, or tap an icon to make it active. Check notification settings for the app.

Why is my sound not working on my apps?

Android devices have many different volume controls so it's possible the volume you're turning up isn't the one that controls the volume in the app. To double check, go to your device Settings, find the Sound option and then check the volume level of all the controls.

Check the game settings to make sure the music and sounds are turned on. Force stop and restart the game: double click the home button (or for iPhone X: swipe up from the bottom edge and pause in the center of the screen), find the game and swipe up on the game. Open the game again. Turn your device off and on again.
