14.2 lowers volume on Bluetooth devices and headphones


says it can’t be turned off. Reduce loud sounds has always been off. I really wish to disable this feature. It’s turning down the volume on my Bluetooth speakers when listening to the news - not even just headphones.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Hi,

I don’t believe that it is possible to disable this feature as it is built-in to iOS.


I believe what is happening is the fact that the volume on your headphones and the volume that your phone puts through to the headphones is different.


Try re-pairing the headphones with your device and that may work.

If that has no effect, un-pair and “forget” your headphones as a device, restart your iPhone, re-pair to your headphones and that may work.


If none of those methods work then visiting the support pages of the companies that you got your headphones/speakers from may help.


Cheers and Stay Safe
