User level: Level 1 (4 points)Last night update IOS 27 was installed on my iPhone SE. It is now locked in silent mode. After hours of making switches in Focus settings, I finally reset the settings. It remains locked. What do you suggest next?

There is a new bug in SE iphones in iOS27 where if you turn off the phone, when you turn it back on again it turns on the silent mode even though the switch is set to Ring.
The workaround is to turn the switch to Silent then back on to Ring.
If this applies to you then please report the bug https://apple.com/feedback

I did figure it out after lots of attempts. My phone only has two volume buttons on the left. So I lowered the volume clear down and shut the phone off. Then back on in a few minutes. That seemed to toggle the sound back on somehow.
