Fix Unchangeable Ringer Volume Issue in iPhone X

When you bought your new iPhone X, inserted a SIM card in it, and tried calling the number from a different phone, did you notice that the ringer volume remained constant and unchangeable even if you moved the volume slider up to the maximum level?
If so, be assured that this behavior is not due to any issue in your iPhone, but because Attention Aware Features are enabled and working correctly. In other words, by default this is how your iPhone X should work.
What are Attention Aware Features?
Attention Aware Features rely on TrueDepth camera that iPhone X has. The TrueDepth camera recognizes if you’re looking at your iPhone’s screen, and makes the Attention Aware Features respond accordingly.
