iOS 11 - Volume Control

Am I missing something here or is this a bug? I have an iphone 8 plus running iOS 11.0.1. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to adjust volume for alerts and notifications. Driving me crazy! Right now, the volume is maxed out and very loud when I receive a new email or a text on my iphone. So annoying. Don't you just simply swipe up to get into the control center and adjust the volume there using the bar on the right? I have it turned one bar away from mute and it makes no difference whatsoever. Volume is still the same level (loud) for alerts/notifications/texts,etc. As for the other settings, under "Settings, Sounds & Haptics" I have "Change with Buttons" turned on. I have "System Haptics" turned on as well. I had a few others in my office try it on their phones as well and they have same symptoms. Must be a bug.

Help!

I had this same issue. Followed all the steps suggested. Already had “change with buttons” turned on. Changed volume everywhere.

Turning off my Bluetooth (from settings, not control center) fixed the issue. Notifications / keyboard click volume lowered back down.

I had this too. There’s a new button under settings/sounds & haptics. It’s called “change with buttons” and my guess is yours is off. Select it and you will be able to adjust them again as before.

Same exact issue. Notifications are SUPER loud on my iPhone X. Music & Voice volume is down (all the way). The ringer volume is set to where i need it to be (relatively soft) - but the notifications are WAY WAY too loud!

I am having this problem with the sound that begins and end voice/dictation of text, as in messages or note taking (i.e., when using keyboard and I select the microphone). I'd be happy just to mute it but don't know how. Let me know if you figure this out.

Nope. I want to be able to adjust my notifications/alerts volume but not adjust the ringer volume. I guess it's not possible.

This is my problem too. I turn down the volume per the posters above and then a text comes in at full volume or I try to play some audio and it blasts me regardless of my settings. Really annoying!

I have the exact same concern about set both separated.

Hope that Apple solve this in the future.

Has anyone figured this out? It’s driving me nuts on my iPhone X. Everything seems to be a different volume and I can’t get it the way I want - the way it used to be prior to all this.

Try a reboot, solves it for me. Although it came back twice... I believe it started after the second update for ios 11.

Try this. As the tone is playing, adjust the volume on the car- not the phone. I was having the same problem with my text tones, except they were too low Worked for me.
