Hello georgee32,


The steps below, which are taken from How to set and change alarms on your iPhone - Apple Support, will guide you through how to change alert volume on your iPhone:


How to change the alarm's volume

1. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
2. Under Ringtone and Alert Volume, drag the slider left or right to set the volume. As you drag, an alert will play, so you can hear how the volume changes.
3. Turn on Change with Buttons to use the volume buttons on your device to change the alarm volume.

Learn what to do if the alarm volume is too low or quiet.


Even though the steps discuss the alarm volume, they apply to the alerts, like the timer, as well.


Have a wonderful weekend!
