Is Your iPhone Volume Not Working Like It Should? Try This

iPhone Volume Not Working: When an iPhone’s speaker stops working, so do many of the features that make the iPhone so great. The music stops playing, you can’t make calls using the speakerphone, and you don’t hear a “ding” when you receive a text message or an email, or maybe your iPhone speaker is muffled.

If you’re unable to hear a caller through the receiver or speaker, or if you can’t hear sound notifications and media through the speaker, it seems that the iPhone speaker is not working. A few troubleshooting steps can solve iPhone sound problems safely

What to do if Your iPhone Volume is Not Working

Check Your Sound Settings

If your device has a Ring/Silent switch, move the switch forward—toward the device’s display—so that orange isn’t showing. If you’re using an iPad, you can also swipe down from the top-right corner to view Control Center and make sure that Silent Mode is off.

Open Settings > Do Not Disturb and make sure that Do Not Disturb is off.

Restart Your iPhone

It may be some bug that is not harmful at all. Restart your iPhone: press the Power/Sleep switch and the Home button at the same time.

Keep holding both buttons until the screen turns off and then turns back again and displays the Apple logo. Your smartphone will restart without affecting any personal data. If there is a temporary sound glitch on the iPhone, this solution should fix it.

Plug and Unplug Headphones

It’s very common that the iPhone plays music well only with earphones. Once disconnected, there’s no sound and the volume slider does not show up.

If this is your case, get your headphones and insert them into the headphone jack, then quickly pull them out.

Repeat this 4 or 5 times. Sometimes the smartphone gets stuck in headphone mode, so this action normally will undo that. Also, this may remove any dust or grime lodged in there.

Clean Receivers and Speakers

Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. Check the speaker opening to see if it’s blocked or dirty.

On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver is not blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.

Try Making a Call

If you hear the sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on the speakerphone. On iPad or iPod touch, make a FaceTime call. If you still can’t hear or hear static or crackling, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try to call again later, or from a different location.

Turn Off Bluetooth

You might have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby. So you can’t hear the sound without this device. Turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth) to unpair with a headset.

Update iOs

Update your device to the latest iOS version. Go to the Settings > General > Software Update and check if your iOS version is the latest. If not, proceed with the update.
