Ringer and Alerts Volume Issue - iOS 14

This may be helpful – I was infuriated with various changes to the alarm in iOS 14, but then found that you can use the Bedtime feature, which, strangely, has (sort of) been moved from the clock app to the Health app, but, at least after you set it for the first time, it shows at the top of the regular alarms + it can be adjusted there, so you CAN:

-set different alarms for different days

-use sounds that are only available in bedtime but not in the regular app, including Early Riser sound (the ONLY morning alarm i can tolerate)

-adjust alarm volume separate from phone volume!! This last item may solve the problem that you’re talking about here.

FWIW, I had the setting "Change with Buttons" which was activated (use the volume buttons to adjust ringer and alerts volume). But these buttons also can be used to take a photo in the Camera. So I'm wondering if by taking a picture by means of the volume buttons, this does not modify the volume. Anyway, I'll switch this off to see if there's an improvement...

I'm on iOS 14.4.

Well! My problem was fixed in IOS 14.4. But you go to service centre and elaborate your problem to an advisor may be they will help you.

For me I turn my Ring/Silent switch to silent (top left corner button on iphone 11 pro) - even on silent setting I will sometimes get sounds, like the click when you lock, i hear the locking click even on silent. if I toggle this button from silent to Ring, then back to silent it will start properly suppressing the lock click sounds (and other sounds such as notification related sounds).

This is highly obnoxious because sometimes I am up late at night doing work and walk to the bathroom and my should be silent iphone starts making all this loud noise and it wakes up my sleeping children.

I’m on 14.4 and this just started for me. Seems to mostly happen when in landscape orientation, or when in the YouTube app. But it happens over Bluetooth and in music, podcasts, and books as well. Thought it was my case, until I realized that cycling my phone on and off made it not happen for a while I have a XS Max. Please help.

It is just a feature when you use airpods or headphone. It just notify you the volume of your phone is lower for your safety purpose but in my case. When i not using headphone or airpods the volume bar indicator is randomly pops up without i pressing any volume keys but in IOS 14.4 my problem was solved.

Even with iOS 14.3 my iPhone constantly keeps turning up the ringer volume.

Extremely annoying as the last thing I do before going to bed is to turn it down to minimum, so that the alarm does not wake up the whole household.

Then when the alarm goes off in the morning, the volume has been turned up to around 60-70 % again :-(

Same exact issue here on the 11 pro (Verizon) NO fix on iOS 14.4. I’ve given feedback to Apple. I work in medicine and missing some critical texts and phone calls. I can not tolerate this volume turning way down on its own and the volume up/down buttons stopping to adjust. This is a vital function that renders BASIC functions highly unreliable. This is my first year with Apple product and I’m pretty surprised and very disappointed that this very basic yet critical function is so badly and pretty much daily malfunctioning. I’ll have to leave Apple behind and move back to Android if this isn’t quickly fixed. My patient care has been impacted by this very directly and I can’t continue to tolerate it

i woke up this morning, surprised waking up late! And realised my alarm volume was softer than normal. The only difference is that i upgraded to ios14.4 overnight.

I tried increasing the volume for Ringers and Alerts, whilst phone volume is on max, but it’s still the same :(

i hope they fix it soon.

I have a similar problem. In my case, I like the alerts and other sounds level very low. But regularly, without me doing anything, the volume is maxed out.

Generally speaking, I find the handling of sound in iOS a disaster. Ring sound and other alert sounds volume should be handled separately. I know that simplicity goes a long way, but it's irritating not to be able to manage these sounds differently.

Literally same I’ve had this issue for a day now I’m so sad :( literally it keeps going down but when I get out of the settings app and go back it appears again. I think it’s just a glitch and hopefully iOS 14.1 fixes it all. Sorry I couldn’t help much :(

DEFINITELY!! PLS USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT/“report” problems/feedbacks and the more people submit this, the more likely that Apple will fix this problem!!! Here is the link,

p.s.( I’ve submitted already! :) I’m really hoping apple fixes this on iOS 14.0.2 because it is bothering me and many others!! I feel the pain :( but pls submit this feedback!

Well I put it on my shelf on my bed and I heard it and when I grab it I’ll turn the volume down for you until you press stop or snooze so try it

i have the same problem and have tried every suggestion posted. No meaningful response from Apple Support and it is SO frustrating. So many missed calls and texts!

Same issue here. My 12 pro max’s ringer volume turns up by itself and it gets super loud at the worst times 🤦🏻‍♀️. Do we need to bring the phone to the store?
