Phone awareness setting

Because I did not like my phone reducing volume when handling it, I used the Awareness setting to stop it......I thought and was told it would. WEll,,,it does not work. My phone still reduces the volume when handled, phone call or no. I miss calls when in another room away from phone because of reduced volume. How can I just get it to stay where I set it?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Greetings zucccchini,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like the iPhone volume is lowering the volume when you handle it. Do you mean the volume buttons are lowering the volume?


"Lock the ringer and alert volumes in Settings

  1. Go to Settings .
  2. Tap Sounds & Haptics (on supported models) or Sounds (on other iPhone models).
  3. Turn off Change with Buttons."


Adjust the volume on iPhone


Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need additional assistance.


Take care.
