There's obviously little damage in that past itself, just a fairly common scenario is that a parent hands their iPhone to their kid to play a game or watch a video, so gets the iPhone back to put dorsum in their pocket not thinking much of information technology. Then a few hours (or days) pass, and uh oh, the parent discovers they have been missing out on telephone calls, text letters, alerts, and email chimes, because the phone isn't putting out any sound at all, despite the mute switch not being activated. Hmm!

The cause of this is adequately unproblematic; the volume buttons on the side of the iPhone. Fortunately, Apple tree thought of this exact scenario, and they came up with what I like to telephone call 'parent mode' for the Volume Buttons, which lets you set up a a volume limit through iOS software Settings while simultaneously disabling the hardware volume buttons from actually irresolute the book level.
