Loudspeaker Not Working

The loudspeaker at the bottom of my phone, which has louder sound & better quality than the speaker at the front top of the phone, isn’t working any longer, that is, it was giving quite right sound before. I wonder why will it stop working at once?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Hi there,


Try all of these steps in order to see if you can fix your iPhones loudspeaker



  1. Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. 
  2. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver isn't blocked or dirty. 
  3. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.
  4. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.
  5. If you hear sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on speakerphone. On iPad or iPod touch, make a FaceTime call. If you still can't hear, or hear static or crackling, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try to call again later, or from a different location.
