Navigation voice volume

Navigation voice volume in Apple maps is missing in iOS 15. It is annoying to hear the map whispering the direction if I play music in my car. I don’t even use the Apple Music app. I use Spotify. How on earth can Apple bring back the Navigation voice volume in Apple Maps.

The trick is to adjust the volume on the *car* radio while Siri is speaking. The CarPlay app will distinguish to adjust that volume rather than the music volume. You’ll even see a different icon on the volume bar when adjusting during that time.

They removed this, and it’s made my experience worse and reduced the value of their product. Whoever is managing the product at apple for the maps app isn’t doing their job. Now those of us who use nav over Bluetooth have to crank up a he music louder to hear the directions clearly, terrible. I’ve been using iPhone since the first one in 2007, and watch each iOS get buggier and worse with features removed rather than added and refined, I’m starting to think something in the apple core is rotting (bad leadership). Guess I’ll be using Google Maps and Waze now…by Apple Maps (and this is how you lose market share, Tim)

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Whilst driving, instructions from Siri are the same volume as the music.

But, I just talked to Apple Support and a small workaround has been found.


If you activate "Hey Siri" and talk to Siri, once she is answering you can adjust the volume of Siri and through this also the volume of the instructions for Apple Maps.


Whilst this workaround works, it still needs to be fixed!
