My Question or Issue
Music keeps lowering from full volume to very quiet when opening my phone. But volume says it is full. I have tried switching off equaliser, resetting, uninstalling and reinstalling and it is still doing it. Any advice appreciated thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for the update, @Oll_15.
It is possible that it's due to the low power mode or low battery that the phone would do this automatically. In any case, we also recommend giving the app a clean reinstall if you'd like as it can help resolve different issues with the performance. You can follow the steps here.
We'll be here if you need help with anything else 🙂

It seems that you are experiencing a problem with the music volume on your iPhone. This could be caused by several factors, such as:
To fix this problem, you can try the following solutions:
Hi there @Oll_15,
Thanks for reaching out. A big thank you to @Margo6617 too for the detailed reply.
I just wanted to add that you should also go to your app settings and check the audio normalization option. If it's on, turn it off, as it can sometimes cause volume fluctuations.
Hope this helps.
Hello, thank you for the suggestions, I have tried these unfortunately I still have the volume problem. I will keep trying different things, hopefully I can figure it out. Is it possible my phone lowers volume because of my battery being low? It is random soemtimes it lowers completely quiet but I can still hear but other times it only lowers a little bit, and always when I tap my screen to awake my phone
Hi @Oll_15,
Thanks for the reply. Does the issue occur only when your phone is low on batter? Does it happen with any output device/headphones used - both via Bluetooth and over cable?
Let us know how it goes.
Hello, I’ve been trying it out with my battery above 20% and when I don’t have it on low power mode and so far I haven’t had the volume lower on its own. It dosent do it when I use my earbuds and I don’t use a speaker

I am facing something similar.
The phone is on speaker mode, playing spotify, screen switched off. By tapping on the screen to wake it up, the volumes lowers, but for the reason that the speaker is switching to the one of the ear (you use for a call). Havent found a proper way to get the phone back in real speaker (not ear speaker) mode.
Anyone suggestions to it?
I am having the same problem. If it’s on speaker mode and I unlock my phone it swaps to the ear speaker for calls as said above. Only way to fix it is if I close the app and re-open it. I’m on an iPhone 12 if that has something to do with it. Drives me insane. Does anyone have a fix?
I had this problem but if you use siri even for just a second the volume will go back to normal!
Same. Pretty much if I switch apps while listening to Spotify or wake my phone up volume drops at least in half. Only when not connected to Bluetooth and using iPhone speaker. I’ve tried all suggestions on this thread but nothing works.

My Question or Issue
Since I got my iPhone 15 Pro Max I have an ongoing issue. when I connect my phone with an aux cable to my car and put on music, after a while the volume goes all the way down yet the music keeps playing. I have to get out of the app and enter again but it keeps happening every single time after a while. sometimes after one song, sometimes after a couple. I would really appreciate any help you can provide.
I tried these and didn’t have luck BUT I turned OFF “attention aware features” under Face ID on my phone and it seems to have worked!

My Question or Issue
This has only begun the last couple of days. When I’m playing music in the app, when I switch apps or even lock my phone and unlock it the volume will suddenly drop. The phones volume itself hasn’t changed as shown by the volume bar if I press the volume buttons. If I increase the volume using the buttons it is still relatively quiet. I have to quit the app and reopen it for the playing volume to reset.
