iOS 14 ringer volume issues

Hi, I did the latest update to ios14. Since then my ringer volume keeps being turned down to minimal. I’m not turning it down, it seems to happen when the phone is locked. I cannot manually change the volume when in lock mode. Any ideas?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

I have turned off Sleep Mode from the Health App. It’s somewhat buried, but since I turned it off, I no longer have issues with the alerts and ringer.

note: the ringer slider still is showing completely silent at times. But if I manually lock the phone and go back in, the slider moves back. Seems like a UI glitch.

I updated iPhone to iOS 14.0.1 and paired new iWatch 6. I am having the same ringer and notification mute issue on both iPhone and cellular watch. I have the volume setting in the middle and the control with buttons off. I reset the iPhone and the watch and this fixed it for the rest of yesterday. After being on their chargers over night, the issue returned today. Apple please fix this issue!

No sorry I haven't seen that issue. You know what helps is if you're using a beta version of iOS (Public or Developer), it installs a Feedback app on your device. You can then use that app to send Feedback to Apple. I've had Apple contact me directly about bugs I've submitted through the Feedback app. If you could get a screenshot or recording of the wrong Caller ID showing up that could be super helpful as well

Apple should seriously be embarrassed with this latest OS. By far the most buggiest in quite a while. I had no problems with 13. Between the lag when switching to messages, notification volume being turned down (which is also affecting my watch so I’m missing notifications entirely), and other random crap.


I really hope they light a fire under their developers butts and get this crap fixed already.

My wife and I just upgraded to the 11 and both had 14.0 and seem to work fine. Then they updated to 14.1 and the ringer stop but I found a fix for that issue then they updated to 14.2 and they both have been silent since then. I have not found anywhere that even acknowledges that there is a ring problem for iOS 14.x. We have been on apple since the iPhone 3 and though all of the upgrades. This is the first time they broke the **** phone. It is or should be a phone first and every thing else second.
