Is there a way to disable the volume buttons on the iPhone XR. When I’m listening to Spotify and put my phone in my pocket, depending how I move the volume will shoot all the way up or down and is incredibly annoying. I’ve trying going to sounds and haptics and disabling the “change with buttons” feature and it does absolutely nothing. Anyone else found a fix for this?

Ringer volume control using the buttons is annoying for me personally because if I try to turn volume down on the home screen before I go play a video or music, then instead my ringer volume gets lowered. Then if I get a call, I won't hear it.
Im not sure why they don't include an option to turn it off. But you could suggest it as a feature request at the link below.

The "change with buttons" setting is for the ringtone volume. There is not currently a method to disable the hardware volume rocker buttons.
I would recommend getting a case (both for protection and to keep from accidental button pressing).
Even a very cheap case works great for me
Well that's disappointing. I have a $70 otter box case, the problem is it also has the volume buttons on the case. I've never seen a case that doesn't have the cut outs or indentations for the volume button's so I'm not sure that would help but i'll look into it. Thanks.
Case price is not really a factor here, but a case generally doesn't prohibit the buttons being pressed, but rather it reduces the ease of pressing them. I've personally never experienced accidental button presses of the volume buttons on my XR or my previous generations of iPhones. Out of curiosity, what way do you put your phone in your pocket (charger port down or up, also screen facing in or out)?
I have the headphones plugged into the jack when listening to music so the phone would be charger port up. Screen out seems to help a bit but I prefer screen in as I work in a auto detail shop and if bumping into something with my leg I feel better knowing it’s the back of the phone case taking the hit rather than the screen.
That's real strange that bumping the buttons is causing that much of an issue in that position. I don't have the same issue but I don't use regular headphones usually.
Youre mot by chance accidentally pressing the buttons on the headphone controls are you?
Nope, definitely not pressing the buttons on the headphone controls. Now I’m wondering if the case I’m using actually makes it worse. I may try a new case. Although it still seems strange to be able to disable the side buttons for ringer volume control but not media. Why not both?
