Iphone 11 volume very low after ios 16 update

Greetings Earpiec,

This page offers some excellent guidance for what to do if the sound/audio on your iPhone is not working as expected: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support. Make sure to follow the steps under the section labeled "If you want to try more steps on your own."

If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. After following these steps, you might still need to contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

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.

You'll want to complete the steps on that page to see if they resolve your issue. If not, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly for further assistance. You can reach out to them by clicking here: Contact - Official Apple Support or over the phone by calling the number that is most local to your region: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.

We hope this information helps you out.

Cheers!
