Low phone call volume

I am having low phone call volume issues on my 12 pro max since the update. Does anyone have a solution?

My phone shows that the volume is turning up but the sound level does not change. I have cleaned speakers, turned on and off blue tooth, reset phone on and off, more. Thanks

Hello Tlhere,


We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support. Some of the steps you've taken already are listed here, but please follow any not already done:


      1. "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 open Control Center and make sure that Silent Mode is off. 
      2. Open Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb and make sure that Do Not Disturb is off.


If you want to try more steps on your own

If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. After following these steps, you might still need to contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

      1. Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. 
      2. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver isn't blocked or dirty. 
      3. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.
      4. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.
      5. If you hear sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on 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."



If the issue persists after all that is completed further assistance may be needed. We want to make sure you reach the right team for help with your iPhone, so we recommend that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support - Apple.
