Ringer volume turning all the way up

The ringer volume keeps turning all the way up on my iPhone (SE generation 2 running iOS 15.6.1, but this has been going on for a few iOS versions now).

“Change with buttons” is already turned off in settings, but it keeps happening. It happens most often when I’ve had to turn off/restart my phone for one reason or another, but it doesn’t happen all the time either.

Not great to be waking the entire house up when my alarm suddenly goes off on full volume for no reason. How can I stop this?

iPhone SE, iOS 15

How to delete an alarm

  • Swipe left over the alarm and tap Delete.
  • Tap Edit, tap the Delete button , then tap Delete.
  • Tap Edit, tap the alarm, then tap Delete Alarm.


If the alarm volume is too low or quiet

Do Not Disturb and the Ring/Silent switch don't affect the alarm sound. If you set your Ring/Silent switch to Silent or turn on Do Not Disturb, the alarm still sounds.

If you have an alarm that doesn't sound or is too quiet, or if your iPhone only vibrates, check the following:

  • Set the volume on your iPhone. If your alarm volume is too low or too loud, press the volume button up or down to adjust it. You can also go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and drag the slider under Ringtone and Alert Volume.
  • If your alarm only vibrates, make sure that your alarm sound isn't set to None. Open the Clock app, tap the Alarm tab, then tap Edit. Tap the alarm, then tap Sound and choose a Sound.
  • If you connect headphones to your iPhone, the alarm plays at a set volume through the built-in speakers on your iPhone as well as wired and wireless headphones.

Manually adjusting the time on your iPhone in Settings to change app behavior, like game timers, isn't recommended and can affect alarms.

That’s not really helpful. I know how to set and turn off alarms. I know how to change the volume and that the do not disturb/silent mode options don’t affect the alarm volume.

I want the alarm, I just don’t want it to suddenly be ear-splittingly loud after weeks at the correct volume when I haven’t touched the settings.

The problem is that I set the Ringer and Alerts volume in the Sounds and Haptics Settings, and have “Change with buttons” turned off, yet it still randomly changes the Ringer and Alerts volume back to max. I want it to stay at the level I set.
