iPhone X Ring Volume Low

iPhone X lowers ringer volume if its face detection algorithm determines that you’re looking at the phone, in which case an audio cue is no longer needed.

It should ring normally when the screen is off, or you’re not looking at it.

Hi,

This is a feature of iPhone X, please see this Apple article - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208245

If you experience this, it's because your device is seeing you make eye contact with it, thus not needing to alert you at full volume. If you prefer to be alerted at full volume all the time, you can turn off Attention Awareness.

I hope this helps.

My iPhone X ringing volume is really low but it’s turned up full can u help please

Did you read this thread? iPhone X ringer will be very low IF you are looking at your phone when it's ringing because of a feature called Attention Aware. This is normal behavior, but can be turned off if you don't want to use Attention Aware.

This support article explains Attention Aware features on your phone.

I had the same issue. Through a lot of trial and error, I found you have to go into Accessibility and turn off the bottom "Attention" setting. Then, the ringer is at full volume at all times.

It seems as soon as you pick up your phone the ringer volume drops. Set your ringer volume up in settings. Put you phone on a table and call it from another phone. The ringer is loud for as long as it sits on the table. Pick it up and the volume drops down. Same thing happens when the phone is in a pocket, in a carrier, in a purse. Loud ring until you handle the phone ... then the volume drops down. Your I-Phone X senses you have handled the phone. I discovered this by trial and error. Hope it works for you!

I had same issue. But what I found is that it may actually be iPhones feature. When you are holding it in your hand the ringtone goes quiet since iPhone assumes you are already aware of the call. When placing phone on the table and calling the ring is loud. Once taken in hand it goes quiet. You should try it. Maybe its the case for you as well. Good luck and Merry Christmas

Here’s the fix:

Go to Settings > General > Accessability > FaceID & Attention > turn off

This helped me so much! It was driving me insane. The problem is that It was detecting my face so the timers tone was low. As soon as I place the phone down it sounded louder.

This is not in fact an "issue". It is a feature of the iPhone X called attention awareness feature. You can turn it off in settings under accessibility or face ID and passcode options.

Settings/General/Accessibility/ turning all "attention" settings off worked for me. Thanks. What's the point of a phone if you don't hear it ring ??

Yes even I had the same issue. After a lot of trials & errors, I got it. All you need to do go to

Accessibility> Face ID & Attention> Attention aware features> Slide off the button

(if you slide off this button may TrueDepth camera will check for attention before dimming the display or lowering the volume of alerts)

Now the ring volume is full and high and reflecting as well. Enjoy now.

You are looking at the phone when it rings. Do not do that. When you look at the phone, the Face ID recognizes that you are looking at your phone during an incoming call and therefore you are aware that there is a a call coming in so the ring volume is lowered automatically. If your phone is sitting on the table and you are not looking at it? The volume will be loud and stay loud for as long as you do not pick it up. As soon as you pick up the phone and look at it, the volume lowers. Smart phone.

THANKS IT WORKED FOR ME TOO WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ATTENTION AWARE FEATURES BOOM AND IT WORKED THANKS ONCE AGAIN
