iPhone 11 call volume extremely low

I was thinking this might be a software issue because so many new phones were having this problem. After several months I finally gave up and checked with a local phone repair shop that offers ear speaker replacement service. The technician replaced the ear speaker which solved the problem. It's difficult to know if that is what's causing the problem for so many users.

This happened to me at first and I actually called my cellphone provider and got a replacement and it happened again. The reason why is because I had kept the plastic that covers the screen on the phone at first when using it and that was messing up the phones sound indicator. Both phones work fine after I took the plastic off.

First I would attempt to uninstall and reinstall the application.

If issue persists attempt to force restart. To force restart quickly click the volume up button click the volume down and then hold the power. Keep holding the power button until you see the device restart.

If this issue started to occur after an update I would invest in updating it again we are currently on iOS 13.2.

If Issue persists I would attempt to contact Apple support.

This is not a solve for me. Removing the plastic was the first thing I did prior to setting up the phone and using it. The volume is unusually low. I thought this phone would perform better than my iPhone 7 but sadly that is not the case. Very disappointed.

I am having the same problem. I bought the 11 Pro in October. I will be using it and suddenly the volume stops working; volume slider is all the way to max. The only thing that fixes it is re-starting, and I had to do that twice to get it to start working yesterday. I have never had this problem before, and I've had an iPhone going all the way back to iPhone 3. I need a solution!

Yes go ahead you will not have the problem

This is EXTREMELY TRUE 😭😭👌🏼 I took my plastic cover off and I was able to hear the calls perfectly fine afterwards. That’s so weird how a flimsy little thing impacts it that much, but I glad that was all it took to “fix it”. 👍🏼

This is not the solution to low volume when in coming calls arrive. I never left the plastic on. That is dumb. The phone is the ***** battery overheats, volume is crappy. What a deal for 1500 bucks. Jon Kingsbury

This is not related with plastic coating or screen guard.

If your phone is not new and suddenly volume is low then it is a hardware problem.

I have tried all solution and now made an appointment wirh A-LAB for repair or replacement.

Will update hare again after the issue is resolved by ALAB engineers.

I went to the Genius bar today. I ran into the same problem. After running several tests on my device. A couple issues were detected with their assessment software on the earpiece of the device . They end up cleaning it with some kind of cleaning swab a pencil and some other tools. It did the trick. (please note that the dust was not showing on the earpiece whatsoever). I was afraid it would not work. But I was relieved. The tech told me if it had been the case, the screen would have to be replaced.

Hi ,

I finally went to service center and found that there was some dirt in my speaker, which i could not remove manually, hence the volume was low.

They cleaned it and my volume is as clear as new now.

Oh, wow, ya’ll are absolutely amazing! I never thought about where the speakers are on my new iPhone11. I invested in a rugged Speck cover and a Zagg screen protector as soon as I got it. I, too, had unwittingly applied my Zagg screen protector over the speaker at the top of my phone. So that’s why the protector has a notch in it! Duh. Fortunately, I was able to get the Zagg protector off, turn it around to put the notch over the speaker, and voila! Problem solved. I couldn’t imagine Apple would really sell us all expensive phones that could only work properly without any protection — that would get outrageously expensive really fast. Many thanks to all! And Apple, too!

There are two reasons to this:

1) Your Phone is new and you have not removed the plastic cover

2) Some dirt in your speaker, get it removed by Apple support Store (ALab) or try yourself if you dont have access to ALab.

Only on my contacts lists does this happen. Incoming call volume is low and it will not increase by using the volume buttons. I can only hear my caller if I put them on speaker.
