Just upgraded to iOS 13 last night. Now, the volume control indicator keeps popping up randomly no matter what I'm doing. It appears on the screen for a second, disappears, and a minute later does the same thing, whether I'm placing a call or looking at my messages. Is this happening to anyone else? Any thoughts on a fix? One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to do it while I'm actually on a call.
iPhone 7
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.
As the OP I have to say that for whatever reason the problem has decreased and now the volume bar only pops up every once in a while while I have my headset connected. Have no idea. It did happen once on my wife's iPhone 7 when I was playing around with a Tile so I think it is any Bluetooth device.
I have the same question. It happens only on iOS with the Voyager Legend BT That I have. Other BT devices like the Sony or other Plantronics models do not present this problem. Very annoying with the volume level indicator showing up at random times
I have the same head set as you The PT did yo check for firmware update on headset ? I also updated to 13.3.1 and it has still not been doing it and I text a lot ..but for sure will keep posted also try turning your key clicks off
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
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!
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.
Hi. I removed the case and rebooted the phone, and it still does the same thing.
Thanks for the response but it’s defiantly the Sony headset as this only happens when I’m using them. But they should work and I shouldn’t have to buy Apple earbuds as a workaround.
I am having the same issue !! even went and got a new headset today still doing it ! It is driving me crazy , as I live on my phone and my headset is always in my ear! I wonder if they will fix it and or does it happen with Air pods ?
A resolution to this should not be turning off useful functionality, Apple should be looking for a bug fix for this.
Any Apple Tech persons out there? Or does anyone know how to escalate this thread to Apple Tech folks??
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!
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
iOS 13 Bug - Volume Control Indicator Keeps Popping Up
