Your notifications often cause your phone to emit a sound, which is great if you&#8217;re in a situation to receive them, but bad if you&#8217;re in a job interview or sitting in the front row of &#8220;Hamilton.&#8221; That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s time to set a volume limit.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we&#8217;ll show you how to set volume limits on your Apple device in just a few simple steps. Read on to learn the ropes.<\/p>\n<h2>5 steps to set a volume limit on your iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>1. Open your control center by swiping up from the bottom\u00a0of your screen (or down from the top if it&#8217;s an iPhone X or more recent version).<\/p>\n<p>2. Here, move the volume slider, next to the brightness icon, to the full volume amount. This will set the volume level to maximum. If you want it lower, simply slide the bar back down to a volume you&#8217;re comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-116298\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-1.jpg\" alt=\"iphone volume\" width=\"350\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-1-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. Go into <strong>Settings<\/strong> and choose the <strong>Music<\/strong> module. Tap <strong>Volume Limit<\/strong> under Playback and move the Max Volume slider to your desired spot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-116299\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-2.jpg\" alt=\"iphone volume\" width=\"350\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-2-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. Next, with the most recent iOS, what was formerly &#8220;Restrictions&#8221; under General in your Settings has been updated to <strong>&#8220;Screen Time&#8221;<\/strong> in Settings. Open that.<\/p>\n<p>5. Once in Screen Time, you can tap <strong>Content &amp; Privacy Restrictions.<\/strong> Turn those on at that top, and then scroll down to Allow or Don&#8217;t Allow changes to your Volume Limit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-116300\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-3.jpg\" alt=\"iphone volume\" width=\"350\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-3.jpg 350w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/12\/volume-3-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as simple as that! This is important for protecting your ears. It&#8217;s also an important step for parents to take on their children&#8217;s iPhones to keep them from listening to music or obnoxious YouTubers too loudly.
