Low Headset volume after IOS 14 update

Has anyone else had this issue? I upgraded to IOS 14 now I have to use speaker to hear my

phone calls due to the headsets volume being so low. Side note— I have not dropped or spilled anything on my phone.

iPhone 11

There are new features in iOS 14 to prevent hearing damage and this affects headphones and Bluetooth peripherals (possibly phone speaker as well).


Go to Settings > Sounds and Haptics > Headphone Safety


You can adjust the maximum volume or disable he protection entirely. Be aware, this may lead to hearing loss over time, which is why the feature was introduced.
