How to Increase Ringtone Volume on iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide
This guide will walk you through the simple steps to increase the ringtone volume on your iPhone. Whether you’re missing calls because your ringtone is too low or just want a more pronounced sound, these instructions will help you adjust the volume settings to your liking.
Step 1: Open Settings
Start by unlocking your iPhone and navigating to the Settings app. This app icon looks like a gear and is typically found on your Home screen.
Step 2: Access Sound & Haptics
In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on Sound & Haptics. This section allows you to manage all audio settings for your device, including ringtone volume.
Step 3: Adjust Ringtone and Alerts Volume
In the Sound & Haptics menu, you will see a RINGER AND ALERTS slider. Drag this slider to the right to increase the volume of your ringtone and alerts. Make sure to test the volume by tapping the Ringtone option directly below the slider.
Step 4: Enable or Disable Change with Buttons
If you want to use your device’s volume buttons to change the ringtone volume quickly, toggle the Change with Buttons option. This allows you to adjust the ringtone volume using the physical volume buttons on the side of your iPhone.
Step 5: Test Your New Ringtone Volume
To ensure your ringtone volume is set correctly, make a test call to your iPhone. Ensure that the ringtone is audible and adjust as necessary by repeating the above steps.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
If you find that your ringtone volume is still not to your liking:
- Ensure your iPhone is not in Do Not Disturb mode, as this will silence incoming calls.
- Check if the Silent Mode switch on the side of your iPhone is turned off (not showing orange).
- Consider checking for software updates in Settings ➜ General ➜ Software Update, as certain bugs in older versions can cause sound issues.
By following these steps, you should have a more suitable ringtone volume for your needs!
