iPhone ringer volume keeps turning down

I have the same problem and the “change with buttons” is switched off. I’ve been missing a lot of calls. Putting it on vibrate mode isn’t a nice workaround. I have an expensive phone that doesn’t ring when someone calls me. Or it’s way too expensive, it changes the volume for you. 🤦🏾‍♀️

My iphone7 keeps lowering the ringer and alerts to zero so I can’t hear it. Change with buttons disabled. Not in Silent mode. I have tried setting volume and powering down and looked at it and it was ok. 20 minutes later I looked again and it was at slider was set all the way to the left. Any ideas?

There are a bunch of different suggestions in this thread that seem to work for some users. There is no one size fits all however. This is an ongoing issue for many users and to date there is no official fix from Apple. Best you can do is read through this thread and try all the various solutions people have come up. Good luck.

I have been observing my phone. These past 2 days, the volume slider adjust 1 bar at a time to the left so the volume might eventually be turned off without me knowing (again). This is so weird and I hope Apple will fix it soon. 😔

Funny, I've been having the opposite problem. When I'm using my Sony Bluetooth headphones, I want my text/ringer alerts to be on the lowest volume so my ears don't get blasted. Recently, my volume has been turning WAY up (like 60-70%) while I'm listening to music and I won't be aware until a text comes through and my ears get blasted out. I turn my volume down manually on my phone, but a minute or two later, it jumps back up on its own. This is so frustrating and also IT HURTS!

For iphone 11: go to settings — accessibility —- face id and attention —- attention awareness features.

i will check and see if this will resolve the turning down of volume ... i really hope it will.

Mine is doing the same thing. Change with buttons is off. I've turned the phone off and on as well as turned the "change with buttons" on and then off. For a while today it stayed ok but then when I checked again it was at minimum volume. I need to be able to hear my ringer so this could present an issue. Any other ideas. I phone XR with 14.0.1 instilled.

I’m having the same problem. The only work around that I found is to go to each contact and turn in the emergency bypass. It will then ring each time no matter if the phone is on silence or do not disturb

I had this problem also but disabling or enabling volume control with the side buttons did not help. I think it has to do with my Apple Watch. There used to be a watch option to mirror the volume settings of the phone, that is no longer an option. If I mute my watch my phone will continually lower all the way. If I turn sound on on my watch the volume remains on on my iPhone.

I have two iPhones. They’ve both been upgraded to the new OS, and now they both have their volumes turned down, on their own consistently. I have tried all of the recommended solutions and nothing has worked. They both still turn the volume down on their own. Sometimes minutes after I have turned it back up. I firmly believe that it’s an OS bug. I’m hoping there would be a fix, because instead of waiting to upgrade with the new phones when they come out, I feel I might switch brands

I have an iPhone XS and have missed several important calls and notifications because my ringer and notification volume goes to minimum without any input from me. My “Change with Buttons” has always been off, but that does not seem to matter. I have to check the ringer volume a few times a day to check on its volume and have found it to be at minimum. If someone has a fix for this, please reply.

I feel there is not any fix we can do! Only Apple can do that, and it seems they will not acknowledge the problem!!! I had not made any changes to my 2 phones, no new apps .. nothing! Only the upgrade to the lastest OS...Yet after the upgrade, both phones are doing this...I look, volume down, I turn it up, and next time I check, volume down. This goes on on day long with Both phones. Was going to upgrade both phones with the new ones, but now thinking about that! I do not want to keep goes through the same problem What's the point

I am on my 2nd Iphone in 2 week and the 2nd once is going back! I need a phone that works. Will most likely buy a Samsung.

Because, of course, Samsung phone never have any problems.

IKR!!!!! I sent my Iphone 8 plus to Carlisyle, PA -- because it wasn't taking selfies -- making it totally useless if I wanted to re-sell it.... But because it was in warranty/guarantee whatever time period, they shipped me a brand NEW (not a refurb) iphone -- and it doesn't stay put either when I adjust the volume on the side or in the settings! The Apple Store is too far to drive and I won't let Best Buy muck with my beautiful new iphone. So, I guess I will LIVE WITH THIS and hope the next update fixes the 'bug' -- evidently Apple has no clue how many people use our iphones as an ALARM CLOCK. Poo! :-(

Besides that it has a short battery time and I had to keep taking that battery in and out, ya mean? ;-) Sorry, I worship the APPLE. Had my fill of Android O/S after 3 years on Samsungs and it's big brother the Tablet.
