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.

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.

Hopefully the issue is resolved in the next official update, I'm just here to report that I've not had the issue since installing the latest developer beta 14.2 b3. Been running since it came out last week and not once has my volume slider moved all the way to the left. If you're not familiar with the developer betas don't install it, wait for next official.

This needs to be addressed ASAP! I have the setting “Change with buttons” turned off. This to me would mean that no matter what, the ringer/notification volume should not move unless I go into the sound settings and manually slide the slider. Pretty much every day my ringer/notification volume is now slid all the way to the left and I’m missing out on important things here Apple. Fix this issue please!
