Hi Yvo2608,

Thank you for following up and for the clarity.

It looks like this is expected behavior if 'Auto-Play Videos and Live Photos' is enabled. This can be found in Settings > Photos > Auto-Play and Live Photos. If this setting is disabled, videos will not automatically play when opened, but when played, the sound will be enabled.


If you have feedback for Apple regarding these functions, we would suggest submitting it at the link below.

Hi Yvo2608,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

We understand you're having some issues with controlling the volume on your iPhone 6s, is that right?


Is this occurring just in certain situations? You may want to check the silent switch on the side of the iPhone, as this will mute certain media volume by default.

The article below will provide information and guidance on managing audio and volume settings.

Hope this helps! If we can provide further clarity, let us know a bit more about what's going on and we'll happily help.


Take care for now.

Chris_g1 thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately it did not solve my problem.

Let me explain a little bit further:

With the Camera app I record a video.

When afterwards I play this video the sound is initially switched off.

Refer to the enclosed picture!

Tapping that speaker symbol wil bring back the sound.

What is to be changed to have the sound switched on instantly?

I hope you find the solution, regards Yvo2608
