Notification (ringtone and alert) volume changing on its own

I keep my notification volume set to the middle. Every few days, I find my iPhone notification sounds either raised or lowered for absolutely no reason.


iPhone 13

iOS 16.5.1 (latest)

Change with buttons - off

Attention aware features - off


This has been going on for months now. Anybody else run into this?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi tradrat,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand your iPhone volume keeps increasing on its own. If you have a case you may want to try removing that to see if the issue persists. Sometimes the case can press the volume buttons inadvertently. Or you may consider preventing volume changes with the buttons. This article has the steps if needed: Adjust the volume on iPhone - Apple Support.


"Lock the ringer and alert volumes in Settings

  1. Go to Settings .
  2. Tap Sounds & Haptics (on supported models) or Sounds (on other iPhone models).
  3. Turn off Change with Buttons."


We hope this helps.


Take care.
