Volume turned down to protect my hearing

Settings>Sounds & Haptics>Headphone Safety>Turn off Headphone Notifications and Reduce Sound Levels

I had this issue. With update of 14.4. Go to settings > bluetooth select your device > click on "i" icon change device to speaker.

This started happening to me with the 14.2 or 14.3 update. After reading here and other places, calling Verizon, and calling Apple, only to find out that this definitely is a new "feature" and can't be disabled, I am returning my iPhone 11 Pro that I have had for a year and going back to Android. I was an Android guy from the start but wanted to give Apple an honest shot and this has ruined it for me. I am streaming music from my phone over bluetooth at least 8+ hours per day. I stream it to various portable speakers, my home stereo system, and one car I own that is too old to have CarPlay. I also stream to headphones when I am working out. Lastly I do some DJing on the side and while setting up all my gear, I stream music from my iPghone to my mixer which plays the music on large powered speakers. I simply cannot have my iPhone turning down my music half-way every 20-30 minutes and there is NO WAY to disable it! If I keep the volume setting low on the iPhone, I can't get the volume I want/need to out of my external bluetooth devices except for headphones. I also don't want to be driving in my car and messing with the volume buttons on my phone. It seems Apple may have made a big oversight in assuming that ALL connected bluetooth devices are headphones when they enabled this feature. And beyond that, I just don't need Apple telling me how loud I can listen to my music. My car goes over 55mph and isn't limited by the manufacturer. There are no laws requiring Apple to force this volume limitations on us. I'm going back to Android which doesn't impose its will on me like this. I can't believe the Apple product team thought this was a good idea.

sorry your instructions aren’t quite right. It’s to do with the weekly volume data.

its more like.

Settings>Health>Data access and devises>And deleting everything you can find.

Yes, this works for most devices with iOS 14.4, but it does not work for Apple's AirPods. The phone is smart enough to know that they are ear-buds, so you can't change the device type. Not a good way to encourage people to buy AirPods. Such an annoying "feature".

This "feature" has been very annoying for me. I go on long runs multiple times a week. (1 1/2 to 2+ hours) and in the middle of a run the volume just drops down. I use bone induction headset to be able to hear the road and surrounding, but when the phone reduce the volume then I can't hear the music or the running coach. It should be a way to disable this.

How can this be an "Apple recommended" reply when it's 100% inaccurate?

There is no such option to "Turn off Headphone Notifications and Reduce Sound Levels".

This "nanny feature" is extremely annoying, as 1) there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it, and 2) it's flawed in its execution in that it triggers when I'm not even using my headphones. Yes, I'm using a Bluetooth speaker that's located in another room, yet my iPhone feels the need to protect my precious eardrums in the middle of a song. For a "smart phone", that's rather stupid.

This link got posted on a similar group called Volume Limit. There’s a box at the bottom to directly comment on the new feature - (and how it really needs looking at). Not sure of any other way around the problem yet but good luck!

I didn't even get this notification till I upgraded to 12 Pro! I understand that it's a regulation imposed by governments of different regions (enforced in Canada). But this makes no sense at all. And I dunno what kinda impact/result they're hoping to get by limiting the volume! The idea and (even more so) its execution are deeply flawed! I can see this being important when growing up. But, I think, when we're mature, we can make that decision ourselves and live with its consequences. After all, nobody takes (and certainly mustn't be able to take) food away from a stable grown up because it's too much food for one or too unhealthy. Even though its negative impact on one's "health" is far more than listening to loud music/media.

I have the same problem. I use a phono lead or Bluetooth everyday to play music through a speaker, now I have my volume controlled but I’m not using headphones. I’ve tried deleting all the volume data gathered(to reset the weekly limit) this hasn’t worked. Did you find any answers?

What absolute trash from Apple to recommend turning off Headphone

Notifications. It's completely ineffective. If Apple built a house, this

solution is a dummy switch that doesn't do anything about to the

blaring alarm and strobing lights that turn on at 4AM to tell you you're

getting too much rest. And Apple recommends the dummy switch that some

fool wrote about but never tested.

The other solutions

work, either. If you go to Settings>Screen

Time>Content&Privacy Restrictions>Reduce Loud Sounds it won't

work. Apple doesn't give you the option to control your own volume.

So

with my two decades of owning 2 iMacs, 2 PowerMacs, 2 PowerBooks, 3

iPods, 3 iPhones, 1 iPad, and having logged who knows how many thousands

of hours on their OSes, I've found this partial remedy: use PCs and

Android. It *****.

Both platforms are awful. Computers

used to be run by technogeeks who were intent on making the better

systems. The strategy now is to lock-in customers by making it difficult

to switch. Yeah, that's actually a legitimate strategy they teach in

business degree programs. Apple, Google, Samsung, Facebook, and most

tech companies knowingly and actively pursue being pains-in-the-*** so

you don't go to a competitor. Tens of billions of dollars of valuation

just to be YOUR Pain-in-the-***.

Try performing an action that rhymes with "brail Jake". Apple are being fascists about using the actual term.

This is so annoying! Come on apple stop Turing my music down! This keeps disrupting my song writing. Change the **** settings or I’m charging to different phone ugh. It’s not your job to worry about my hearing! I like loud music period!

This started happening to me as well. I listen to Audible books through a big jambox blutooth speaker. Turns the volume so low it is hard to hear when doing other things around the house. I wonder if Homepods get "throttled" as well?

I’ve been dealing with my upstairs neighbors stomp, hitting pipes, dragging furniture for a year now. Wearing my headphones has been the one thing that has helped me keep my sanity. Now I keep getting this notification ever 2 seconds that my volume is too loud and I can’t shut it off! This is ridiculous. I’m a grown as man! I don’t need big brother watching over me!
