Headphone audio levels notification warning

Just in case anyone else is still following, the Bluetooth labeling has NOT helped. I’ve labeled my truck everything on that list and it still happens. This setting actually does not affect my headphones at all, and I don’t get that decibel warning as I’ve had all that shut off for weeks now (I will not label my truck as headphones however, I don’t want to blast my eardrums when I actually have my headphones in and it starts playing again). I’ve actually caught on that the phone volume lowers to whatever volume I had it set at on the previous listen (if I had my headphones in it goes to that volume, if I had it playing on its own it goes to that volume). I legit think this is a weird bug that maybe my phone picked up at some point and nothing is fixing it. Would be nice if this volume crap was addressed on the next update.

As EVERYONE ELSE has said. I stream my phone via Bluetooth to speakers. In my living room. In my car. In my garage. In my bedroom. Your headphones don’t even fit in my ears! Your iOS isn’t smart enough to know that I’m not using headphones. It assumes I’m too stupid to know what is good for me. I’m 65 years old. I don’t need a NANNY!

Fix the ****** iOS.

I really doubt this is a bug, I think it's more nanny crap. I listen to my the music on my phone while driving by running a cord between the headphone jack and the aux port on my car (no bluetooth available), and turn the phone volume all the way up so that I can control the volume through the radio controls. This so-called "feature is also irritating me greatly, just like when I recently updated the iOS and all of my music was moved to the cloud without my consent or knowledge. This also really irritated me because I don't always have great cell service where I drive, and why should I use my data to listen to music I already paid for?!?

Apple needs to stop making unilateral decisions for users, or I will seriously consider going elsewhere.

A lot has happened since November 30 when that was posted.

If you want to create a new thread for your specific problems no doubt someone can give you more detailed help. This thread is about Bluetooth Headphone health levels and has been solved since 14.4 came in. It should not affect corded connection in "ipod mode"

Your Apple Music has always been in iCloud and in the event of an ios restore the onboard copies will have disappeared, which is what must have happened. You can re-download all or any of it. It is the property of Apple remember according to the agreement.

I found this thread while looking for why my phone recently started giving these stupid nanny warnings, and it seemed to match what I was experiencing.

And no, my Apple Music has not "always been in iCloud". It has always been on my computer since well before the iCloud existed and moved to my phone as I see fit. Apple decided to put it in the iCloud without telling me during one of the iOS updates. I know I can re-download the music, and did so. My issue with that is that I should not need to burn my data allotment to bring music back to my phone just because I reset it.

As an update to my earlier comments, I just got off the phone with someone at Apple who was very combative and apparently not very informed on technology. They claimed that during the update I must have clicked on something to move my music from my phone into the iCloud, which did NOT happen because I did not want to ever start using the iCloud. They also clearly did not comprehend that an AUX cable that plugs into the headphone jack is not related to Bluetooth and tried claiming I should try a different CAR!?!?! He seemed to think that I am made of money and can just buy a new car on a whim or something. . . Apparently in addition to ceasing making unilateral decisions for users, Apple needs to hire smarter people to answer the phones.

If the music was originally on the computer and downloaded from non-Apple source or ripped from CDs then that is different. I was talking about Apple Music.

No way that music sync’d from a computer can be uploaded to iCloud unless you did it yourself by enabling it.

Setting up an iphone, if you don’t disable all iCloud settings it will assume you want it enabled.

I hate iCloud as a bulk storage medium so only I allow things like Calendar, Keychain etc.

Hello Big Brother Apple. Interesting how things have changed since your 1984 commercial. I’d like to control my own volume on my music, thank you. Change this feature and don’t do stuff like this again, or I will be forced to switch phones. - iPhone user since 2010.

This does not work. The option is greyed out. I cannot express how frustrating this is. I had iPhones from the second generation and everything Apple and have had three moments in the last three months were I considered switching providers.

I need the volume up to not hear the sounds around me - with this feature I cannot enjoy my music anymore and have to cup my hands over my ears and AirPods to hear what my clients say when the call me.

Apple team, I beg you to fix this.

I saw no pop up window or other option to change the setting about iCloud vs. non iCloud, or notification that a setting would need to be changed. The phone was restored to factory settings for that version of iOS, and then my latest backup was loaded back onto the phone. In my backup, the music was on my phone. After the whole process, the music was no longer on my phone.

As such, this (like the nanny volume control nonsense) was an Apple choice. The information on how I wanted the phone set up was in my backup, and Apple apparently decided they knew better. Apple made an overriding decision and didn't even bother to put in a notification that something like this was changing and that I would need to go find the setting and change it. As a result, I was inconvenienced and also needed to use my not unlimited data to retrieve music that was already mine.

When I listen to an album as I often do - in its entirety, when it gets to the end it suddenly skips to starting to play an entirely different album I don’t want to listen to by an artist Apple thinks I want to hear based on my previous choice. This not only ruins the mood of my previous choice but is very presumptuous of Apple that I would ever want this. Therefore my question is - “Is there a way to stop this from happening, as I want to be the one making the decision of what to listen to next, sometimes nothing at all, etc?”

Well now with 14.4.1 out I’ve yet today to figure out if the issue will be better addressed as since they claimed to have fixed it it doesn’t lower the volume on the middle of any song anymore unless I pause then hit play, it does it then, that **** is annoying, and still just as dangerous!and as soon as i hit play i raise the volume then get the **** notification again, what kind of twisted **** is this, oh and in this iOS update hey Siri doesn’t work and i press and hold the power button and that doesn’t work either!

“...For the record, this nannying infuriated me, it’s well outside of a manufacturer’s domain ...”

If people didn’t keep going in for litigation and class action lawsuits maybe manufacturers might be more relaxed.

Remember the battery one where older batteries were prevented from crashing the iphone by allegedly slowing the CPU a tad? What do we get now? Iphone 6 and 7 with 2 year old batteries crashing out and people asking why. Apple knew better but people knew their “rights”.

So go to court for the right to blow your brains out with your headphones.

Apple is all knowing so why not just let your arbiters control you without question? You should be thankful that Apple in their infinite wisdom took over your decision to control your own volume (in the device that you bought for probably over a thousand dollars). It’s almost like you think you should be able decide what volume to listen to.

First they control your volume, then they control what sites you can visit, then who you can text. This is a slippery slope and all you young ones need to wake up. Apple, Google, Twitter and Facebook are dangerous to your freedom. Wake up.
