Ringer and Alerts Volume Issue - iOS 14

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I finally got through to Apple by phone. Call was escalated. Here is the link the rep sent me to report the problem.

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.

It’s happening to me as well. I have missed several important phone calls. It also has effected my alarm. This is frustrating.

Me as well on beta 14.2... my husband isn't having an issue .. SUPER frustrating

I am so sorry about that! I’m hoping the all new iOS 14.1 that is suppose to be expected is going to solve all this! Btw! iPhone 12 will be announced today!

I agree, Apple has gone totally silent on this issue with no helpful fixes at all.

14.1 is a biggggg disappointment. Nit did not fix the volume issue, my new contacts won’t alert when texting
