Headphone sound level restriction

Hi. Just updated my iPhone 11 with recent software update and it’s dictating headphone sound level. I don’t use headphones but a Bluetooth speaker. Out of the blue it now dumps the volume. Very annoying and will definitely be a deciding factor when it’s time to renew phone contract.

Apple butt out 😡😡

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

Iphone cannot distinguish bluetooth speakers from airpods. I guess it shows a headphone symbol? I use a speaker with active amplification and turn that up.


The notifications cannot be turned off but you should still be able to override to higher volume with those settings. How often do you get the notifications and the volume go down?

I listen to a lot of music in my car via Bluetooth, so every couple of days I get this alert. The only fix I’m aware of is to delete the last seven days of headphone audio data from Apple Health. It’s super obnoxious and insulting since I don’t even listen to my music that loud and it usually happens when I can’t safely access my phone (since I’m driving). Hopefully Apple addresses the issue, because it’s happening to a lot of customers. Customers who just shelled out 1.5K for a new phone and accessories.
