Since the latest update, my iPhone keeps on lowering volume when listening to musing both with bluetooth earbuds and speakers. I get a notification telling me I've exceeded the limit and that volume has been reduced. The health app tells me that this cannot be disabled. Is this really a "feature" that cannot be turned off? I'm frustrated beyond belief.
iPhone SE, iOS 14
I just did the steps and it worked, got them from Apple , turned off in Settings, you can prevent changes to the maximum headphone volume. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Reduce Loud Sounds, then select Don’t Allow.
Make sure screen time is active and then follow the steps
Thank you for a quick reply...will download it now try it and have a better day.
Posted a comment and they deleted it within a minute. **** company scared and out of touch
Seems to be working fine again with the update.....thanks for fixing!
I got the update today. Very happy now 😁.
Thanks for this info, I’ve just changed this now :)
Permanent.
Bye.
I’ve just updated my phone now and I really wish I didn’t now as this new update brought this horrible feature. It doesn’t distinguish the difference between a set of headphones or my car radio. So now when I have my car radio on and have my phone on 100% with my radio at its usual volume it’s now extremely quiet, to the point where I now need to have my radio on almost max volume to have it at a moderate level.
I sure hope apple revokes the inability to turn the setting off as it’s challenges many different things. Please at least give us the choice to change turn it on and off as you won’t be the one to worry if we all damage our ears then

This is absolutely ridiculous and they have to allow this to be turned off! In my case its not even headphones, I have a bluetooth transmitter that transmits to two speakers which aren't playing that loud at all, volume on the phone/device has to be close to 100% to even get any sound. This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen anyone try to implement - allow us to turn this feature off if we are not using headphones!!!!!
You are behind the times
It is fixed in ios14.4
Go to bluetooth settings
Remove the device
Pair it again
Tap on the (i) and select Speaker
Health App keeps lowering volume of BT speaker and earbuds to 50%
