My iPhone ringer volume is going up by itself

Same. iOS 14.3 on iPhone 12. It doesn’t matter what volume my ringer was set to- in the morning my alarm goes off full blast. It makes for a terrible wake-up bc 1) it’s too loud, and 2) it gives me anxiety about waking up my wife, too.

FIX THIS.

I have something to say to Apple:

Can you just solve this issue? otherwise it is pointless to have this - Change with Buttons feature build in. Obviously this is a bug, just solve it. Change with Buttons is useful coz I can adjust the volume as and when also the level of the volume. Please don't create more disapointment to you long loyal users here.

YES! This. Is. Awful.

Primary complaint for me is my alarm ringing at 100%, which is NOT a pleasant way to wake up!!!

Fault started after updating to iOS14.3 (although admittedly I skipped a few updates, as the 13.7 update wrecked my music). I have checked all my settings & whatnot. Cannot identify a particular trigger, and occasionally it will refrain from blasting me out of bed on max volume. But randomly and without warning, it'll go back to 100% loud.

If this is a software bug, FIX IT, PLEASE!!!

It happens to my iPhone SE too. When I'm connected on my Apple Earpods or a regular bluetooth device and using my Whatsapp, for every message I receive or send, the beep sound comes and immediately I see the Ringer volume of my iPhone going up. I turned off the option "Change with buttons" on settings. Now, it's worse. The ringer volume goes up to its fullest even without any signs or notification on the display. My friend with the 12 pro max with same ios version does not have such issues. Its forcing me to keep my iPhone on silent mode most of the time.

Same here. Just started happening on my new iPhone 11. Very annoying. My alarm is on low to not wake up my wife. It’s goes off super loud. Now my wife is mad at me. Need this fixed. Both issues. Wife and ringer. :)

Jan2021. same issue with alert sounds arbitrarily increasing to full volume. i’m on an iPhone Xs and iOS 14.3 but it’s only started happening within the past week. i’ve done nothing that would have caused a change and i cannot seem to find any consistency in use or timing that prompts the issue.

oddly, my two teens also have a problem with the alert volume on their Xr models with 14.3 but their volume decreases to all the way down, meaning silent.

As info...

On or about January 2, 2021 my iPhone 6s+ started increasing its ringer volume on its own after I hang up from a call. I am running iOS 14.3. This is very annoying since I like to keep my ringer volume very low.

My temporary fix for this odd malfunction was to go to SETTINGS, SOUNDS, and turn off "Change With Buttons" and then set my ringer volume low with the Ringer and Alerts slider.

Now when a call comes in (I answer and then hang up) iOS tries to increase ringer volume but fails.

Add me to the list. My phone keeps jacking the ringer volume all the way up without me doing anything. It startles me when I get a call and I've been embarrassed by it in public more than once. I thought I was doing something wrong till I saw this thread. I'm running 14.3 on a 12pro.

I also have the Lock Screen sound issue that has been bugging other customers.

same issue. I am using iPhone 11 Pro. mine used to happen after disconnecting WhatsApp/FaceTime audio calls mainly. at first I wasn't bothered by it since it rarely occurred. But since the last few days, it happens after every internet call.

This only happens when I am using the phone i.e this doesn't happen if I get a missed WhatsApp/FaceTime audio call, for now.

Same over here, I have the XS that has lived it’s whole life in a case and has been taken very good care of. I’ve noticed within the last week or two that my ringer is going all the way up randomly while my boyfriend has the XR and his regular volume is always getting turned down to silent. I hope they fix it soon. We’re both in the beta program so hopefully it’s just a bug in this new beta.

Update: I noticed that when I plug in the aux cord in my car (I know, I need to upgrade to Bluetooth) the headphone volume indicator and the ringer flash across the screen at 100%. If I turn the ringer volume down, unplug the cord, wait 10 sec and plug it back in the volume automatically goes back up to 100%.

I have also been having this issue for a few weeks now. My ringtone will be maxed out overnight on its own and I will wake up to an alarm tone at full blast.

This is also on top of the bug that I am not receiving some iMessage notifications.

Apple really needs to fix their software before releasing it. Maybe some quality control..?

Same here. Been happening for a few weeks. Ringer and alert volume is down where I want it but my alarm the next morning goes off at full volume. Haven’t changed any of these settings in years. I was just texting my cousin, and the first “sent” sound was normal volume, but the very next one was full volume—and they were only seconds apart. It happened right in front of me that time. APPLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AT THIS POINT. PLEASE FIX IT.

I agree - this is a horrible problem. Every time you get off the phone you need to remember to turn the volume back down or the next time it rings it will scare the crap out of you. I never had this problem with my iPhone X before iOS 14.2 14.3 upgrades.

I discovered it happens when my phone (iPhone 8 running 14.3) is connected to Bluetooth and I text or use the keyboard. If not connected to BT, then it never happens, only when texting with BT connected. Turning off the "change with buttons" seems to alleviate it but then I can't adjust the ringer volume easily. Apple, you need to fix this.
