3 Ways To Fix iPhone Volume Down Automatically
Does your iPhone volume change automatically sometimes? Well, this can happen for a number of reasons including temporary glitches in the software, a bad volume key, or a system issue. Or some features of the latest iPhones may be responsible for this. So here are some fixes for the problem of iPhone volume dropping automatically.
Fix iPhone volume changes by itself
As mentioned, there can be any reason for this problem, but most of the time you can fix it yourself. If the reasons that are causing volume issues on your iPhone are limited to iOS issues or features, or connection or system issues, you can easily fix them.
However, if it is property damage, you will need to have your iPhone repaired at the Apple service center. Here's how to fix these issues.
1. Restart your iPhone
Just like Android, restarting also helps a lot on iPhone. This is the fastest way to fix any temporary problem in the system that might be causing the volume issue. It hardly takes a minute to check whether restarting can fix the problem or not.
Here's how to restart your iPhone:
- For iPhone X, 11 or later: Press and hold the volume up or down and side buttons at the same time. When you see the power off slider, drag it and wait a minute. Now press and hold the side button again until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
- Older iPhones (iPhone 8 or earlier): Hold down the side or top button until you see the power off slider, and then drag it. Now when your iPhone is off, press and hold the Side or Top button again until you see the Apple logo.
2. Deactivate the change with the buttons
As mentioned above, a faulty volume button can also cause this problem. To resolve this problem, you can turn off a feature named "Edit with button." Note, this feature allows you to adjust the volume with the buttons while ringing. To disable this:
1. Go to Settings on your iPhone and tap Sounds & Haptics (or Sounds).
2. Now turn off the toggle next to Edit with buttons.
When it is off, check if your problem persists. You should also increase the volume by dragging the Ringtone and alerts slider to the right.
3. Disable attention features
If you have an iPhone X or even a later model, you will need to look for a new feature to avoid this problem. This feature, called Attention Aware Features, comes with iPhone X and later models because they come with TrueDepth cameras.
When enabled, using the TrueDepth camera for the face detection algorithm, this feature can decide whether you are looking at your phone and as a result it will reduce the volume of alerts or even the brightness of the screen.
Here's how to turn off this feature:
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings and tap Face ID & Passcode.
2. Here, scroll down and find the Attention Aware Features option.
3. If enabled, turn off the toggle next to it.
Now check again if your problem is resolved.
Bonus: update
Here we offer you another bonus tip. You need to check your phone for a software update to make sure it is running the latest version of iOS. As sometimes, it could be a software bug that can be fixed by an update.
To update your iPhone, go to Settings -> General and tap on Software Update.
Your iPhone will check for updates, and if an iOS update is available, you can tap Download and then install it automatically. It might fix other minor bugs that your iPhone might be facing.
If your iPhone's volume still drops automatically, you should contact Apple Support as it may be a hardware issue. You will need to bring your phone to an Apple Authorized Store, and you can also contact Apple Support online.
