Or taken a photo and didn't hear the shutter go off? Maybe you locked your iPhone or iPad and didn't hear the closing sound? That's a question we get frequently after iOS updates, and it's the question we're tackling today:</p>
<p>Hi guys. My wife just installed 8.1.3 on her new iPhone 6+, and she noticed that her keyboard stopped making the usual sounds. When she shut the phone off, it didn't click, and also the camera doesn't click. All the other sounds are working fine. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.</p>
<p>I've experienced this issue going back to iOS 7. The good news is, there are a few things you can try in order to get your lock, keyboard, and camera shutter sounds in working order again!</p> <p>
This how-to is part of our iOS Help feature, where every week I try and help you fix the problems you're having with your iPhones and iPads. If you have a question or need help with something iOS related that you just can't figure out, I encourage you to drop a question in our iMore forums, no registration required!</p> <!--break--> <h2>1. Toggle your vibrate switch on and off</h2> <p>Aside from making sure your iPhone or iPad isn't on vibrate — hey, it happens to all of us! — you should also make sure the switch is functioning properly before going any further. Toggle the switch a few times and make sure other kinds of sounds are coming through correctly. If they do, you can rule out a hardware issue with the switch itself.</p> <h2>2. Make sure keyboard clicks and lock sounds are enabled</h2> <p>The next step is to make sure these kinds of system sounds are enabled. You can't edit or change the camera shutter tone so if you're having issues with that as well, continue on to the next section after completing these steps:</p> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Sounds</strong>. </li> <li>Scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure both <strong>Lock Sounds</strong> and <strong>Keyboard Clicks</strong> are turned to <strong>On</strong>. </li> <li>You can even toggle them off and on again just to make sure. </li> <li>Reboot your iPhone or iPad. </li> </ol><p><a href='

Check for an iOS update</h2> <p>If you haven't updated iOS in a while, be sure you check to make sure you're running the most current version of iOS. Most of the time updating will bring back keyboard sounds. If you lost them during a recent update, continue to the next section.</p> <p>If you aren't sure how to update iOS, you can follow our guides:</p> <ul><li>
How to update your iPhone or iPad OTA using Software Update</li> <li>
How to update your Phone or iPad using iTunes</li> </ul><h2>4. Reset all settings</h2> <p>Resetting all settings won't result in actual data loss but it will reset all default settings for iOS itself. In other words, if you made little tweaks like turning on the battery percentage meter, or changed the orders of certain menus that are customizable, you'll have to redo all that. It's much less hassle, however, than a full restore.</p> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings</strong> app on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>General</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Reset</strong>, it's all the way at the bottom. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Reset All Settings</strong>. </li> <li>Enter your passcode if prompted. </li> <li>Confirm you'd like to reset all settings. </li> <li>Wait for your iPhone or iPad to reboot. </li> </ol><p><a href='

If they're not, continue on.</p> <h2>5.
