How to adjust the volume on your phone
Learn how to make your phone louder or quieter for calls, music, alarms, and notifications.
Step 1: Use the side buttons
Every phone has Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the side. Press Volume Up to make it louder. Press Volume Down to make it quieter. A volume indicator will appear on screen.
Step 2: Adjust during a call
If you can’t hear someone during a phone call, press the Volume Up button while the call is active. The call volume is separate from your regular volume.
Step 3: Adjust media volume
When playing music or watching a video, press the Volume buttons to adjust the media volume. This is separate from your ringtone volume.
Step 4: Fine-tune in Settings
For more control, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics (iPhone) or Settings > Sound (Android). Here you can set separate volumes for ringtone, notifications, alarms, and media.
