iPhone rings when sending mail
QWhenever I send an email from it, my iPhone rings, although there’s no incoming call. What’s wrong?

AThis most commonly results from having the wrong sound selected for the action of sending email. Correcting that is quick and simple: in Settings, tap Sounds & Haptics (or just Sounds on some models), and check that your Ringtone is set to Presto or your preferred alternative. Then check that Sent Mail is set to a different sound, normally named Swoosh. While you’re there, look through the other sound settings to ensure that nothing else is likely to cause such confusion.
