Ringer volume

When I call someone on speaker phone the ringer volume is very low why so?

I tried most of the settings.

This is most likely due to a feature called attention aware that automatically lowers the volume if it it thinks it's by your ear to prevent damage. You can disable this by doing the following:


Change attention settings

For additional security, Face ID is attention-aware. It unlocks iPhone only when your eyes are open and looking at the screen. iPhone can also reveal notifications and messages, keep the screen lit when you’re reading, or lower the volume of alerts.

If you don’t want iPhone to check for your attention, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings  > Face ID & Passcode.
  2. Turn on or off any of the following:
    • Require Attention for Face ID
    • Attention Aware Features
  1. These settings are turned off by default if you turn on VoiceOver when you first set up iPhone.

Note: Requiring attention makes Face ID more secure.
