iPhone volume low on calls

Having this same issue. Have tried all trouble shooting. Apple support blames carrier and carrier blames apple. I had this same issue with last phone did apple update loss volume in call speaker never was resolved. I had to get a new phone same thing now did last update and lossed almost all call volume unless it's on speaker or Bluetooth. It's funny that everytime it happens it's when my apple warranty has recently expired. A new phone seems to be the resolution and unfortunately this will probably be the time apple looses me to Android.

I received a used IPhone XR from Gazelle. It is running IOS 14.5. Just as others have reported, the voice on an incoming phone call is barely audible unless I use the speaker phone. The volume is maxed and I have tried most of the suggestion, except for a reset. I previously had a 6s which was running some version of 14 and I did not have this problem. Music and other audio through speakers works fine. I am hearing that Apple blames the carriers and there is no known definitive fix for this. Any more information about what to expect ? I was getting ready to contact Gazelle about either a replacement or to report that they hadn’t fully tested this phone. Then I read this forum.

Apple had no idea how to fix when I called. I was told to make an appointment and go into the store

It happened to a few of my phones when I updated to iOS 14.0, and still after a couple of hot fixes, it still hasn’t fixed. It’s the worst with my iPhone 6s Plus.

After the recent update on iOS 14 in my Iphone 11,call volume is really low also with in-call volume set to max. There is no issue in the speaker mode or with Bluetooth devices . Please look into this on priority

Hello, I am also having a similar issue on my XR . Ever since I have updated to ios14 , the in call volume has deteriorated by 50%. Whats worse that it deteriorated with each update ! Please find a fix folks @apple

Am having issue on iphone 11 pro using ios 14.2. I am able to hear calls fine when using regular volume or headphones but with speaker. This is especially true when I use bluetooth speaker not car phone blue tooth. I have maxed the volume on bluetooth speaker as well as on phone. It is the way on all 3 of my bluetooth speakers.

Having the same issue after the update. Very low incoming call volume and text messages. Can barely hear the phone. Also experiencing a delay when texting. About 10-15 seconds before seeing what I just typed.

Hmmm.... new iPhone is out. Thinking it’s not a coincidence!

Still no solution from apple that I’m aware of. I also still have this issue. It’s getting pretty annoying....

Currently running iOS 14.3 on the XR.

hopefully they will release a patch soon.

PS: i know someone who also has an XR, same cellular provider also on iOS 14.3 not experiencing this issue. The only difference between the two phone I can tell is the storage capacity. Mine is 128gb as the other is 64gb....

I have reset phone, check sound setting. iPhone is updated. Nothing dirty or damaged.

This happens anytime I am using the phone for a call. Speaker is ok, using the airpods works fine. Otherwise I can not hear anyone on a phone call.

I purchased this phone a year ago (pre-iOS 14) and all worked fine. I believe it is in some configuration update.

The speaker is not damaged in any way.

I am also having this issue. iPhone XS Max.

I’ve tried every solution I could find researching this issue online. Every setting change known to man!. AND physically cleaned it.

Still have call volume like an 80 year old would hear.

Nothing has fixed it!

I’m using IPhone XS Max updated to iOS 14.4.2

Phone call volume at ear is very low.

If use AirPod or turn on Speaker volume is good. I believe this is due to IOS issue . Please kindly get it resolved ASAP

My iphone 8 with ios 14 has low volume on phone calls even with the volume settings at maximum. I have started to put phone calls on speaker so I can mitigate this issue. I have tried a reset, cleaning the headpiece, but no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions.

Me too having the same issue with xr for a few months now tried all trouble shooting. I refuse to purchase a new phone so I've been dealing with having to use speaker or airpods. Apple blames my carrier service and my carrier service blames apple.
