iPhone 16 Pro Max minimum volume too loud

Agreed. At night, in bed, or in the bathroom, we don’t want loud phones.

For all media:

• Minimum volume with volume buttons way too loud
• Pulling the volume slider on the screen down to 1 pixel high too loud
• Setting a shortcut to set all media to 1% volume too loud
• Then there’s inconsistency between apps of course. Like LinkedIn’s minimum volume doesn’t even start until about 4-6% volume on the slider (when dragging it on screen)

Last phone was iPhone 14pmx, this 16pmx is now way too loud. I think this started with the 15, because my wife has it and she doesn’t even use the on-screen volume to minimize and in bed is constantly hitting volume up/volume down button to hear things but then it’s too loud. With the 14, I was able to get things nice and quiet with the on-screen control.

Please give us fractional percent volume! Or reduce the minimum on the amplifier.

Same thing with iPhone 16. Minimum volume is way louder than my previous iPhone 13 Pro. Hopefully they fix this!

The 1% volume on the iPhone 16 is extremely loud. When I’m in bed at night even my phone at 1% volume will still wake people up. Can we get an update to fix this PLEASE!?

I had the same problem! Bring up your control center where you’ll see the volume slider. Hold that volume slider down and it will actually let you lower the volume manually. So you can get the lowest setting lower without muting completely.

I fixed it! Go to settings > sounds and haptics > volume limit > and slide the slider down to 20%. That made the minimum volume quieter and fixed it for me. I had this problem with my new iPhone 16, the lowest volume was way too loud. It was driving me crazy every time I’d use my phone, especially at night or in the bathroom. Hope this helps! :)

Buddy we pay 1300 dollars for a phone we should be able to voice even the smallest of issues

Fix this apple my previous iPhone 14 Pro Max volume was perfect, now the 16 pro max volume even at 1 tiny pixel in control center is way too loud.

Same problem with my iPhone 16 pro here in the UK. Why too loud, not sure what’s going on.

Same issue here. It really drives users crazy when Apple redesigned something and made it worse than it used to be. The volume is one thing; how about the redesigned apple photos? It is way worse than it used to be.

Hello.

I upgraded from an iPhone XS Max to an iPhone 16 and I have the same problem, if I put my finger on the lowest volume on the volume screen (where a low volume sign just appears), any playback from Music App, YouTube App, BBC Sounds App for example, the minimum volume is very high.

I really hope this can be fixed with a software update and Apple Inc does it, I use the low volume a lot and now it's very high on the minimum volume, I really have difficulty with this situation.

I appreciate the attention.

I ended up creating a Shortcut to turn the volume to 1% rather than using the slider bar each time. Still too loud, but helps with not having to use the slider!

So glad I’m not the only one with this issue on the iPhone 16 I thought I had broken it when fixing my volume for alarms.

I hope it is something they can fix as it’s super fidgety trying to make it as quiet as possible on the slider bar each time.

Same phone same issue. So frustrating.
