Can You Change iPhone Lock Sound?
No, there’s no option to change the lock sound. It’s only possible if you jailbreak your iPhone, but doing that exposes your device to security risks. Natively, you can only turn the lock sound on or off. Open Settings, go to Sounds & Haptics, and toggle on or off Lock Sound.
What to Do if iPhone Lock Sound is Low or Not Playing?
First, ensure your iPhone isn’t in Silent mode. Check the Ring/Silent switch on the left-hand side of your iPhone. If it is displaying orange, switch it to the other side.
Next, open Settings, go to Sounds & Haptics, and adjust the slider under Ringtone and Alert Volume. In addition, consider updating iOS and restarting your iPhone.
If your iPhone is still not playing the lock sound after implementing the above solutions, there may be a defect with the in-built speakers or significant dust buildup. In this case, contact Apple Support or a local certified technician.
