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).
I've been on 14.1 since it came out this week. It's had one event of volume going to zero. I'm letting it work normally to see if it recurs and what's going on at the time. 14.1 was a disappointment; I had hopes the 14.0.1 problem would be fixed, but no.
Yes the solution to this problem should be on Apple and not me. If they cannot make products that work correctly Why should I purchase their products? The very idea that I should have to erase my phone and start again is ludicrous.
Got my iPhone 12 last week, did an update to iOS 14.1, never received a notification sound since. Though I would give iPhone a try after using android for 4 years. The experience is not great so far! The touch screen is not responding well enough to beat my old oneplus 7 pro! And the auto silent thingy really bugs me! Seriously Apple!!! Why you charge twice the price for a **** phone?! No more apple phone for me!!!
after upgrading software to 14.1 on iphone 11 the ringer keeps turning itself all the way down for no reason - i have to check and turn it back up prob 6-8 times a day - use the phone for business calls and cant afford to miss any
Same issue with iOS 14.2 and iPhone 6s.
Alarm volume drops to minimum, even though the ring volume of the iPhone is not set to minimum.
As a consequence I am not able to wake up in the morning!
Any known fix for this very annoying bug?
Yes Apple please fix this bug immediately! I am having the same issue but the opposite. I'll have my alarm on just loud enough to wake me up, but not my husband sleeping next to me, and then when I hit snooze the volume goes all the way up automatically. Not cool.
hello i am facing a bug in my iphone 11 which is in IOS version 14.3 the glitch bug is, when im trying to dial a number for calling purpose and then i cut the call the volume and ringer indicator randomly pop up and it reduce my iphone volume to 100% to 0% i have done all the trouble shooting steps like reset all settings, reset all contents and settings, force restart and restore from itunes. but the problem was not solved. i am facing this issue since IOS 14.2 or early i also checked my friends iphone but the problem is only on my iphone 11 and my old iphone 6s. i hope apple will fix this glitch bug/issue on next IOS update. that you guys also facing the same issue. i want to share my iphone 11 screen recording please watch it.
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.
Same problem here too. Hope Apple addresses this issue soon. !
DONT WORRY ABOUT IT! Just hope APPLE FIXES IT! LETS ALL WAIT BUT IF YOU CAN PLSS REPORT TO APPLE!!
I've never "reported to Apple." Please give me a pointer, link, clue, guide, anything.
Me as well on beta 14.2... my husband isn't having an issue .. SUPER frustrating
