Since upgrading to iOS 14, the Ringer and Alerts volume is randomly turning all the way down and sometimes back up by itself. I use my phone as my alarm so it bugs me if my alarm is super quiet and I oversleep. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes?
iPhone X, iOS 14
I have seen a lot of people commenting that they will see in the morning whether their issue is fixed. I have found a way that (at least for me) will show you whether the bug is likely to exist for you or not.
Go into your alarm list and hit 'Edit', choose an alarm and go into the 'Sound' menu. This is the list of sounds you can choose from to use to wake you up. I noticed that playing a sound and then hitting 'Back' to stop the sound triggers the bug so you should be able to work out whether the bug will affect you.
I also agree with the previous commenter who stated that the alert volume will reset to the same level as the game volume setting. That means, if you have your game volume set to minimum, the alert volume will set to minimum after playing the alarm sound. If affected by this bug, try to remember to set your game volume (the volume bar movable from the Control Centre) to where you want your alert volume to stay and this should do the job for you (I hope).
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.
The only way I know of is when using a beta version of iOS that lets you submit bugs through the device directly. I don't know how rapidly they'll react however.
14.1 is now available for download so I'm hoping that'll fix the problem for everyone.
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 14.0.1 on X Max and problem persists. I've changed settings to not reduce sound if I'm looking at the screen; not reduce sound using volume buttons; and it still happens. I don't know when or why, as it's intermittent -- the worst kind.
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.
please dont reset your iPhone. ive tried that and it didn't help- and I was on my iPhone 11 Pro max- which is suppose to perform well.
I spoke with an Apple rep by phone. It seems that they are aware of this issue, but it didn't sound as if it is high on their priority list. We need to keep nagging them.
This article says Apple has fixed the Ringer and Alerts bug in iOS 14.2 Beta 3. Can anyone confirm?

I just installed 14.2 (18B91) to see if this fixes the problem. Not sure if 18B91 is in fact Beta 3.
If you want it now you have to download the Beta test version .
14.2 did for me
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 :(
It's been two weeks of Settings sitting quietly in the background. I've had ZERO clandestine volume adjustments. Not a fix, but it lets my alarms, alerts, and rings work as though there had been a fix.
Why have I heard nothing at all from Apple? Is there a means of communicating with Apple that has the needles-under-fingernails option?
You see I have to worry about it. As someone who has memory issues I schedule events in my calendar. Things like remember to take your medicine and remember your doctors appointment alerts Are a lifesaver to me. When the sound of these alerts goes away bad things can happen. As an earlier poster said not hearing an alarm to get out of bed I’m missing part of your work and career is also a bad thing. Apple needs to address this as soon as possible
