If you can't hear sound on games on your iPhone, start by checking the silent switch on the side of your device; it might be turned on. Also, increase the volume using the side buttons. If that doesn't work, go to Settings > Sounds (or Sounds & Haptics), and ensure the Ringer and Alerts slider is turned up. Sometimes, a headphone connection issue can cause sound problems, so disconnect any Bluetooth audio devices. If these steps don't resolve the issue, try restarting your iPhone or checking for an app update as a last resort.
