With the iOS 11 update, Alarm volume extremely low.

I can’t seem to control my alarm volume. It says volume all the way up but alarm is still very low.

I had this same issue and just figured out how to fix it. Go to “Settings” and then “Sounds and Haptics” and from there, you’ll see “Ringer and Alerts” where you can adjust your alert volume. Mine was really low, now I can hear it. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem since I’ve installed the latest update .

Side volume buttons has always been (since iPhone 1) use to adjust sound volume while on iTunes or other app and to adjust ring volume while on home screen or alarm .

It’s a basic, primery function and it must be accessible easily via one button action, not through step process: settings- sounds & haptics- sliding bar adjustment!!!


I hope Apple will address and fix this uncomfortable issue soon!!!

Yes!! Since when do I want the volume to be the same level for EVERYTHING???!!! I just got the latest updat 11.2.5 and it has not been fixed. None of the suggestions made will work. I can manually change the volume sound on my alarm but when it goes off, it’s the same volume as my ringtone & notifications. I’m getting really frustrated with it, I hope apple fixes this! I have iPhone 7

I agree, opposite problem! I have the volume turned all the way up on the phone because I work in a louder environment. I only need a little volume to wake up but currently I can wake up the neighbors! My wife hates my iPhone's alarm and constantly bugs me to switch to Android for the independent alarm control. I have looked for specialized Apps but haven't found anything that will give me this option.
