Nope. Mine has always worked on all my iPhones starting with the 5s. Which device, what iOS and did you try a restart?

If the caller is in your contact list, check to see if you have "Emergency Bypass" enabled for that person.

Yes that override works great. I have five people that are set for both overrides for Ringtone and Text Tone

Check your Contacts as D was mentioning about.

In case you’re not sure about where to find “emergency bypass” on the contact: when you’re on the contact page hit “edit” at the top right and you can set the bypass through both the ringtone and text tone.

I’m on the XS Max latest software, not beta. I’ve done a restart and have tested it three different times this morning. It’s ringing despite the silent switch being on.

Did the phone ring during the part "If anyone has reason why these two should not be married....."?

As JustMeD stated, do you have the people calling on "Emergency Bypass"?

The one who called me during the wedding is not. The phone I was testing it with this morning was, I took it off of emergency bypass and the only thing ringing was my watch this time.

I would take everyone off Emergency Bypass and do a device reboot (Volume up, down and hold power button until the  screen comes), and test from there.
