If your iPhone doesn't ring for long, it might be due to Call Forwarding settings or the Silence Unknown Callers feature. To extend the ringing duration, you unfortunately can't adjust this directly. However, ensuring Do Not Disturb mode is off and checking if Silence Unknown Callers is disabled (Settings > Phone) can help ensure you're not missing calls from numbers not in your contacts.
