How to Boost Your iPhone’s Volume Beyond Maximum Limit: Discover These Surprising Tricks!

Did you know that iPhones running on at least iOS 14 have a feature that lets you limit the maximum volume when using headphones? This safety feature is designed to protect your ears from potential hearing issues caused by prolonged exposure to loud sounds. But, if you find yourself in a situation where you need to amplify the volume, you can temporarily disable this feature by following these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to Sounds & Haptics.
3. In the Headphone Audio section, select Headphone Safety.
4. Make sure to turn off the Reduce Loud Sounds option.

However, it’s important to be cautious when using this method. Generally, the more amplified the sound, the less time you should expose your ears to it. According to Apple, listening to sound at 80 decibels for more than 40 hours within a seven-day period increases the risk of hearing impairment. The risk only becomes greater as the decibel level increases, which may lead to symptoms such as temporary hearing loss or constant ringing in the ears. Therefore, if you choose to make your iPhone louder using this method, it’s recommended to keep it to a minimum duration.

If you’re unable to use headphones, there are a few other tricks you can try to maximize your iPhone’s volume levels. Besides ensuring that the built-in speakers are unobstructed, one popular solution is to connect your iPhone to a Bluetooth speaker. In the event that you don’t have a Bluetooth speaker available, you can use a bowl or glass that has a wide and stable enough base to stand your iPhone in, with the speakers facing downwards. The curved shape of the container will cause the sound waves to bounce upward, resulting in improved audio for those nearby.
