iOS 13 Bug - Volume Control Indicator Keeps Popping Up

Same situation here. Have the latest iOS. Just recently purchased a Sony wireless headphones. From what I observed, the volume window will keep on popping out while you are listening at a high volume. Not the maximum level, but the one before that. Tried listening around mid volume and it stopped doing it. Also it only happens if you are playing a song/listening. I think it’s a software issue. I have multiple Bluetooth headphones and other devices, this is the first time I encountered this issue. I hope Apple will resolve this immediately with an update.

PS. As of now, none of the solutions on this thread worked on me.

Having the same exact problem, only my Sony WF-1000XM3 is causing this issue.

Nothing seems to work,

-Disconnecting all Bluetooth devices

-Restarting my phone

-Disable settings

-Updating Sony

-Updating iOS

After updating to iOS 13.3.1, I have had constant volume issues. I don’t use a Bluetooth device. I have removed the case and done a reset settings to no avail. The volume button is at Max and I barely hear it. Calls have the same problem on speaker. My boyfriend has a naturally booming voice and Even he is hard to hear. Since this is my only phone, I will not send it off for service. I use my phone for everything. I am also reluctant to take it to Best Buy if just waiting for a new update will resolve it. Any other suggestions? FYI, I have gone thru Apple support.

Happens with me and my 2016 Tesla S with 2020.12.5 software. I’ve only had the car for a few months and I neither think I had this problem when I first got the car nor did it just start happening with the most recent car software update.

I’m parked with my car on right now and anytime I pause typing for a few seconds the ringer volume pops up with the volume at a low level. Once I start typing in comes up again with the volume at a higher level. My phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth and I can hear the typing sound coming out of my car speakers.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately after this incident, I have since change to Samsung phone.

However, for the user who has this issue when connecting to their Sony Bluetooth headset, you may update the headset firmware on Sony app as they have fixed this issue.

Same problem - could it be it keeps doing that only at the top 20% of the volume? If I turn it down further it stops (but not if I turn it down from 100 to 90). Like, maybe some sort of (pretty bad implemented) warning for ear damage (like I used to see the yellow/red indicator when I’m not using my bt headphones..)

Same same problem here on iPhone 7 Plus - and thank you guys for sharing, nice to know it’s obviously a Commons bug - which means this will only be adressed by Apple if enough of us report it.

So Let’s Do It!

The first message was posted in Sept. 2019. Now it’s almost July 2020 and people still experience the iOS bug about the annoying volume slider on the screen. How long does it take Apple to undo a function that is disrupting people‘s ability to use their iPhone without a volume slider that is in the way to do basic tasks.

This slider all in a sudden showed up yesterday. I have iOS 13.5.1 on my iphone. The sound is either on full volume or on silent. I have no control over the volume anymore. As a business owner using my phone all the time this is a major problem. Seeing that people are dealing with this since months makes me consider to say goodbye to iPhones. I can not afford to not hear my clients or have them scream in my ear on a daily basis. LMK, if you found a solution that turns the volume slider on the screen off for good. Thank you!!

Looks like this bug effects all kinds of different models.

I have an iphone 6s (love the small size).

BTW, I had the volume slider show up on my screen for 2 days. Now this problem disappeared again.

No idea why it came and went.

Wait a minute I’m using this Sony wireless headphones aswell! But it’s a headphones and it’s wireless so this volume bar poppin up on the top is also on my iPad Pro 11 inch after I upgraded it to iOS 13 it started so I think Apple should consider this problem very important and try to add another update with the fix of this monstrosity

Yes, I’ve noticed it too. But I’ve also noticed that when it is visible, AND I’m backspacing in a text message, it actually makes the volume slider go up, i.e. it changes the volume.

I don’t think it is related to my fingers in advertently touching the volume buttons on my case. I have thought of that because that’s generally around where I rest my thumb, but I have noticed it does it even when I ensure that my thumb is away from those buttons.

I’ve had this problem for ages. I just noticed today that Spotify on iOS synchronizes volume remotely EVEN IF IT’S IN THE BACKGROUND.

That is, if I’m playing music on a windows machine, hit volume up/down on my iPhone, volume changes on windows. The volume slider on iOS appears when I change volume in Spotify on windows. Spotify doesn’t have to be in the foreground, just not force-closed.

It appears that Spotify periodically re-syncs the volume too.

“Solution” is to force-close Spotify.

Hello, hello! I just updated to iOS 14.3 and am experiencing this issue on my very new iPhone 11. All fixes listed previously in the thread did not work for me. Has Apple paid this any attention yet? Anyone had any other luck? I feel a bit upset that I spent as much money as I have on a product only to be immediately met with this problem. Thank you

My mom’s iPhone does this exact same thing. I thought she was crazy when she explained it over the phone to me. Then I saw it with my own eyes. We figured out it happens every 5 minutes on the dot. How the heck do I tell her to turn it off?
