How to fix iPhone 12/11 Pro keeps on lowering volume to zero on its own?

 

In the latest iPhone 11/12 Pro Max, XR with iOS 14 many iphone users are facing issue that the volume of the iPhone keeps lowering on its own all the way down to zero. Pressing the 'volume up' button on the side of the phone shows the volume at max, but when viewed in 'settings/sound and haptics' it shows all the way down.

Even when tried to change the volume in sound and hepatics settings it will work for some times only and then again get lowered down automatically to zero. This is very annoying issue is iPhone is getting silent and users are missing calls and message alert.

iphone 11 volume getting low

iPhone users are clueless why iPhone is getting silent or lowering down the volume on its own. The never happened with earlier version of the iOS 13.  The iPhone reducing volume level is more frequent when you are using it with Bluetooth devices which is more serious issue as adjusting the volume of Bluetooth connected speaker from iPhone while driving is very risky, this will instantly distracts you while driving and requires attention to rectify, cause the volume gets turned down so much so, that sound isn't audible at all.

 

But Why Apple iPhone is lowering down sound level to zero on its own:

Actually this is a feature by Apple not an issue. If you are using the iPhone at fill volume level then apple detects it as threat to your hearing capabilities and this reduces the volume on its own. This makes more sense if iPhone users only uses earphone to listen music/calls etc. You may be seeing notification  on lock screen about High volume warning on your iPhone. But it seems like Apple has done this for all kind of Bluetooth devices.

A simple solution for this is to Apple need to detect when it’s connected to car speakers, or say a jambox or other wireless speaker or when it is connected to earphones. A permanent fix for the issue is expected from apple in upcoming releases but for now there is one workaround mentioned below that you should try.

 

Workaround: lower the volume

If you keep the volume of iPhone at max level then you might be getting into this issue where iPhone itself will keep on lowering the volume to zero. One easy workaround as suggested by Apple support team is to lower the volume yourself rather then iPhone itself making it to zero. It means you should not keep the volume at max level rather at any other level.

Hope this helps.
