Unless you’re someone who constantly keeps your iPhone on silent mode so that the only indicator for a phone call or notification is a vibration, then hearing your phone’s ringer is an immensely important part of actually having a phone. It’s how you can be kept abreast of important calls and vital information being pushed to your screen. You may be turning up the volume with the buttons along the left side of the iPhone, but your ringer isn’t getting any louder than it was. Well, as it turns out, the volume of what you play on the device is not necessarily linked to the volume of your ringer. Here’s how you can adjust that.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Select the Sounds & Haptics option.
- On the Change with Buttons option, toggle the switch to “on” in order to adjust your iPhone’s ringer with the side buttons.
By toggling this on, your ringer, haptics, and system audio will all be tied together at the same level. If you want to keep the two levels separate and just want to raise the volume of the ringer and haptics to a set level, then toggle this option off, and right above that switch, you will see a slider dedicated to the volume level of your ringer. Slide that to your preferred volume setting, and that will be the level at which it will operate.
