Simple tips to boost your iPhone's volume

Most iPhones don’t have bad speakers, but they’re not the loudest things in the world either, and even if you’re using headphones or external speakers you might sometimes find the volume just isn’t quite as high as you’d like.
Apple actually artificially limits how loud your iPhone can get when using headphones, but handily you can disable this setting and give your buds a big loudness upgrade.
The setting in question is called Reduce Loud Sounds, and it’s a toggle that you can find in Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety. Just turn this toggle off and that limitation will be removed. Alternatively, you could leave it on but adjust the upper limit, which defaults to 85 decibels.
Adjusting your iPhone’s equalizer (EQ) can affect how music (played through the Music app) sounds in numerous ways, and that includes the volume, but the tweak you’d need to make here isn’t obvious.
Head to Settings > Music > EQ, and then select the ‘Late Night’ mode. We’d think something with that name would make things quieter if anything, so as not to disturb people sleeping nearby, but in fact this serves to raise the volume of quiet parts of songs.
While Apple gives you a couple of tools to boost the volume of your phone, app makers have come up with others, so downloading an app can help you out too.
There’s a variety to choose from, including Volume Booster, Max Volume Booster, and others, so check those ones out or browse the App Store for alternatives.
If you tend to listen to your music through Spotify, then there’s an option within the Spotify app that can increase the volume.
Head to Settings > Playback, and then find the Volume Level heading. Under that, tap Loud to increase the maximum volume of music playback. Be aware however that doing this can diminish the audio quality.
This is an obvious one, but if you’re listening to something through your iPhone’s speakers, you should make sure they’re not blocked, either by dust and debris, or by your hand. If you do see any obstructions, try blowing on the speaker grille.
This is unlikely to be an issue, but it’s worth checking if your phone seems quieter than you think it should be or usually is.
Another obvious way to boost the volume of your iPhone is to listen through external speakers or headphones, as these will typically be far louder than the smartphone’s speakers.
If that’s not an option, then try putting your iPhone in a bowl or glass, with the speakers pointing downwards. This should cause the soundwaves to bounce upwards and amplify the volume.
