If you want to change the volume of your iPhone’s alarm, there are several ways to do it. Here are three quick and easy ways that don’t require you to open any apps, making it easier to wake up on time.
How to change alarm volume on iPhone |
The below guide works for all iPhone series i.e. iPhone 4… iPhone 12, iPhone 13… iPhone 14, and so on. We’ll update this article if a new feature is unveiled.
1) Turn the Volume Down
If you’re like me, you probably wake up with an overactive or oversensitive alarm. Whether it’s too loud or just annoying, not being able to find a way to make the sound quieter can be frustrating. One option is to turn your phone upside down so that when the alarm goes off, you’ll have to flip it back over to get out of bed.
Another option is to set your alarms for something earlier in the morning and try hitting snooze for five minutes instead of two minutes- this way, you’ll have more time before your next alarm goes off.
One final option is changing your iPhone’s settings from a high-volume ringtone (or vibration) setting to a low-volume ringtone (or vibration) setting.
2) Access Sounds
To get to the sound settings page, tap General in your Settings menu. Scroll down until you see Sounds. Tap it. The first option on the next screen is Alarm Volume.
You can adjust this setting with a slider or type in a specific number for decibels, after you’ve adjusted the settings, tap Save at the top of the screen, as always, don’t forget to turn off your phone before putting it back into your bag.
The second option is Vibrate. Tapping it will take you to the Vibrate Screen On/Off menu where you can choose between Off, On (or Always), and Only in Silent Mode. Select what’s best for your needs.
Lastly, we have Ringtone Type, which lets you decide if you want your ringtones to be Buzzer, Chimes, or Bongos. If you want them all set the same way, then just select anyone and hit Done from the top of the screen. Once you’ve made these changes, save them by tapping Done at the top right corner of your screen.
3) Change Alarm Volume
If you want to know how to change the alarm volume on your iPhone, there are several ways. But before you do anything else, try playing your alarm sound and touching the speaker icon.
You’ll be able to adjust it right then. If that doesn’t work, however, go into the settings app, scroll down until you see Do Not Disturb While Alarm is Ringing., and turn the slider either off or up.
How to Change Alarm Volume iPhone
- Navigate to Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
- Ringer and Alerts are where you can adjust the volume. As you drag the slider left or right, an alert will play, so you can hear how the volume changes.
- Use your device’s volume buttons to change the volume of the alarm.
At last, if you find that an app is still too loud or quiet, you can remove it from your alerts by pressing and holding it until they jiggle. Then drag any unwanted apps into a folder at the bottom of your screen. You can always get them back later.
FAQ
