Audio volume on my XR
The volume isn’t as loud as it used to be when playing music. It can’t be in my head so what do I need to do to increase it?

To ensure we understand correctly and are on the same page, let us know more about what's going on. Are you noticing that the sound is lowered in specific apps, or only in certain apps? For example, does it only happen when playing music in the Music app, or does it also occur when using the speaker in phone calls?
Does this occur when different wired or wireless headphones are connected?

Hi and thank you for responding. It was happening anytime I used the speakers. Music, speaker calls. I did some more research here at Apple and some other places and found some very helpful suggestions on how to clean my speakers. And some that sounded iffy.
I used a new clean soft bristled toothbrush to gently flick at the speakers, then I used a small rolled up piece of tape in a cone shape to insert gently and then I followed it up by using the brush again.
the volume is so much better! I feel like I have my new iPhone again. It really sounds great!
Thank you
