iOS 13 Bug - Volume Control Indicator Keeps Popping Up

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.

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.

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.
