Adjust the volume on iPhone

When you’re on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side of iPhone adjust the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects. You can also use Siri to turn the volume up or down.

Ask Siri. Say something like: “Turn up the volume” or “Turn down the volume.” Learn how to ask Siri.

WARNING: For information about avoiding hearing loss, see Important safety information for iPhone.

In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode (the switch shows orange), iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts or other sound effects (but iPhone may still vibrate).

Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some countries or regions, the sound effects for Camera, Voice Memos, and Emergency Alerts are played, even when the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
