iPhone 13 notification sound too low

The person I just talked to at support had NO idea this was a problem. A good organization would check their forum regularly to stay on top of product issues. I would return this phone but it's been more than 14 days. Wish I could go back to my Samsung.

Adding to the din of aggravated 13Pro users about this issue.

decided to finally Google “iPhone 13Pro alerts too low” this afternoon and lo and behold it took me to this thread with 11 pages of frustration going back 3 months.

really annoyed

has anyone gotten that notification issue fixed? I have a iPhone 13 max pro and on top of the lack of inputting your own ringtone which Samsung galaxy always allowed never had to buy or add an app.

my phone gets no sound and worse when im on my earbuds no sound like there whispering too me

Just returned my I phone 13 pro max today because of the notification volumes. I use it for business and it was so low I was missing texts and e mails. Had to constantly check the phone which is not what I expect when paying over £1300 for a phone.

Gone back to my Samsung S21 Ultra.

Guy in the Apple shop wasn’t even interested in trying any solution just refunded me my money.

very disappointed in Apple!!!

Personally wouldnt switch back to Samsung (just switched from 20+ 5G), kinda different story here as I've got Watch 7 which makes low notifications issue to go away and can live with it until Apple decides to fix it :)

Had I phones for years up until about 3 years ago when I tried Samsung. Thought I’d try an I phone again and was very disappointed. It’s not only the low notifications I had an issue with. No battery percentage on the main screen unless you want to have a big widget. I use my phone as an alarm and yet no symbol telling you the alarm is set at the top of the screen so had to keep checking. I paid over 1300 for the 512gb and as far as I’m concerned a total waste of money. Samsung s22 will be out soon so I’ll go for that. I phones seems to have gone backwards and the things I mention should be standard stuff on any phone. Very poor in my opinion !!

In a recent call to Apple Support on this issue with my 13 pro max I was told they “weren’t aware” of this issue. Really, Apple?? I referred the phone tech to his own forums. The reply I received speaks for itself.

Either Apple is not telling the truth when they say they are unaware, or else they just don’t want to know. I spent half an hour on the phone with tech-support about two weeks ago before I didn’t have enough credit to continue the call. But I gave them the information they needed to connect with this discussion group. So either they ignored it Because they didnt want to know ,or they ignored it because it was too much trouble to address.

This is NOT the solution. There is a distinct difference in volume between the Ringer and the Notifications/Alerts. When my Bluetooth is connected the tones only come through it and nothing from the iPhone. Did the 15.3 update not correct this? I’m not anywhere to connect to Wi-Fi so can’t do latest update.

I realized the phone wants to control my life when the sounds seem to be getting muted.

I switched from my I phone 7 to this one because of lagginess and some quirks! Now After a$2k plus purchase it’s Apple that sucks. My iPhone max pro, locks up, lags out, my apps crash, it hides what I am currently using, Hides my calendar, screen blacks out when I try to select speaker when I am on a call, The stupid face recognition is so worthless as I constantly have to be typing in my password. I wish I wouldn’t of spent the money for more bugs on a phone, my iPhone 7 was just perfectly fine, maybe not perfectly but a lot less stressful. .. oh and the cameras are awful they are literally awful as they have a hard time focusing.

I don’t need Apple holding my hand, let me do what I want when I want it. Mother Apple!!

With these last updates alarms notification are a hit and miss, this includes calls and text messages. I do get a lot more work done as nobody ever gets ahold of me because the ring never notifies me. Way to go Apple!

Even I had a similar issue with my iPhone 13. It was frustrating , though I resolved it. The notification for WhatsApp is directly linked to iPhone audio volume in iphone 13. Whether it’s an iPhone issue or WhatsApp not sure . I was able to get all other notification when my phone’s volume was low. Normally I keep my volume at 0 and only increase it when I need It.

Yeah, I'm having the exact same problem on my new iPhone 13 Pro Max. It's my first iPhone and it's extremely frustrating as i've missed so many WhatsApp messages etc. Apart from that, I love the phone but this really does need to be addressed ASAP! Fingers crossed!

This iPhone seems to be so pathetic. While you’re listening to something the alarms get drowned out by whatever is already playing, you think that they would come up to the front as they are alarms, or calls, or reminders, it’s just so annoying thank you Apple.

This has been frustrating me since I got my phone two weeks ago. Thought I was the only one. Even worse sometimes I miss calls because the phone doesn’t ring. It’s not the face thing where it won’t ring loud if you’re looking at the phone. It’s just that it won’t ring sometimes.
