IOS 27 Volume drops to zero while in Facebook.

I am using iOS 27 on my iPhone. Since upgrading, every time I go to the Facebook app, it turns my volume OFF. Just scrolling through posts or typing a reply. I’m not listening to music or videos. I have gone to settings and the awareness is not activated. The volume does not go back up when I leave FB causing me to miss calls, etc. Any suggestions?

Facebook recently introduced subtle background audio or typing/scrolling feedback that often hijacks the iPhone's media audio channel. [

Open the Facebook app on your iPhone.
Tap the Menu (three horizontal lines) in the bottom-right corner.
Scroll down and tap Settings & Privacy, then select Settings.
Scroll down to the Preferences section and tap Media.
Locate the Sounds section and toggle OFF the switch for In-App Sounds.

If this is not working you might want to reinstall the Facebook app. If that is not working you might need to contact Facebook's support to get this to their attention
