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

So far so good with iOS 14.2 dev beta 2 - volume has stayed turned up and hasn't dropped to 0! In the past when I've opened something that uses media volume (such as a video game or a video) then that could cause the Ringer volume to drop, but so far the Ringer volume has stayed turned up even with the Media volume turned down

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 knows exactly that this is an Issue on this piece of crap phone... They just trying to make you buy a more expensive iPhone 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and etc.... I guess I'm goin (AGAIN) to "Exchange" my iPhone SE for another SE.... I had COVID and lost my job, my apt, and barely getting by...., but they don't give a Fuck, about that.... Don't you already have one of the sales people telling yo.... but sir, there's a better and mode advance models that don't have any problem.... Pushing you to get an almost $2000 or $2500 phone... is disgusting

I have the same problem and it is really annoying (latest ios14 iphone se 2).

The first update made it better for days but now it is the same. I think the apple made it like it would have a faceID, but it doesn’t. With faceID phones you have a setup which is awareness something. If you are looking towards the phone it gets down the alarm sound. If you do not face it, it goes back. It works like that with my phone, but we cannot set it off because we do not have that option.

I don’t get the calls and messages i should so it feels like I have an old school phone, not a new expensive one.

AFAIK it’s not an Attention Aware issue. At lease not on my phone. I’ve tried it on and off. Both settings result in random volume turn downs through the day. It’s also not related to declining calls or scheduled for not disturb settings. This is a POS bug in these versions of IOS. Phone was working fine till the update. I may not have the latest phone but it’s an X so it’s also not some refurbished or abused something or another. If Apple is trying to convince me to upgrade my phone, the only upgrade they are making me look into is another manufacturer. Can’t have a phone that doesn’t ring when business is calling.

Im using 14.2 beta and what i have noticed is the ringer volume sets automatically with media volume in control center. When media is at minimal then ringer sets to minimal and when it is high ringer sets itself to high. The problem got resoled for a day or two after phone restart but it start happening again. Seems some volume variables are set as global or getting values from same source.
