How to make your own iPhone ringtones

It’s easy to make your own iPhone ringtone from any audio file

We’ve all experienced the ringtone problem: no matter how many tones are in your iPhone , none of them are quite right. 

Maybe you’d prefer the theme tune for your favorite fictional detective, or some dialogue from your favorite show. Or maybe there’s a particular piece of music you’d rather hear. No problem. If you’ve got an audio file, it’s really easy to make it into an iPhone ringtone. All you need is the Music app (iTunes on older Macs and on Windows PCs).

Before we start, you’ll need to ensure that the audio file you’re going to use is (a) on your computer and (b) isn’t an Apple Music track – as in, a song you’re streaming from Apple Music as part of your subscription. Apple won’t let you convert those.

In this tutorial we’ll show you how to create a ringtone on a Mac using macOS Mojave. The process is almost identical for Windows and older Macs but instead of the Music app you’d use iTunes.

One word of warning: choose your ringtone carefully. If it’s a song you really, really love, you might not love it so much if you hear it every time the boss calls you or whenever you get a robocall. We’ve learnt that particular lesson the hard way, and some absolute bangers are dead to us now.

• iPhone ringtones: how to change your iPhone ringtone

1. Find your song

First up you need to choose your song in the Music app. You can’t make a ringtone from a streaming track or one that’s stored in the cloud. Our song here is stored in our iCloud Music Library, so before we proceed we’ll need to download it by clicking on the little downwards arrow over at the right.

2. Pick your format

Rather confusingly, if we want to export in the right format we need to change the import settings. In the menu bar click Music > Preferences > Files and then click on the Import Settings button. Click on the Import Using drop-down and choose the AAC Encoder option.

3. Trim the time

Return to your song in the Music app and click on the three dots at the very right of the track. Choose Get Info > Options and you should see the screen shown here. We need to trim the song to 30 seconds to make it appropriate for a ringtone. 

In this example we want to start from the beginning so we’ll set the start time at 0:00 and the finish at 0:30; you can start anywhere in the song but it can be quite tricky to get the timing just-so. 

No matter what bit of the song you choose, make sure the tick boxes are checked and that you use colons to separate the minutes and seconds. Click on OK when you’re done.

4. Export the audio

Make sure your song is still selected and then click on File > Convert > Create AAC Version. If that option isn’t available it could be because you’re trying to convert an Apple Music track rather than something you’ve downloaded. The conversion process is almost instant.

5. Double up

When you search for your song or look at its enclosing album you should now see two versions of it, and if you look over at the right hand side you’ll see that one of them is 30 seconds long. This is the audio you’ll be using as your ringtone. Right-click on it and select Show In Finder.

6. Change the extension

If you don’t change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r, your iPhone won’t recognize the audio as a ringtone. So let’s do that now. It doesn’t affect the audio in any other way: it’s still an AAC audio file.

7. Confirm your choice

macOS X will now ask if you’re sure about this. And you are, so let’s click on “Use .m4r” and continue. Leave this Finder window open: we’ll need it in a moment.

8. Plug in your phone

Connect your iPhone to your Mac with a cable. If you haven’t done this recently you may need to tell your Mac and iPhone to trust one another. You’ll do that by entering your iPhone’s PIN on your phone screen and clicking Trust on your Mac.

9. Wait a moment

It’ll take a little while, but eventually you should see this when you click on the name of your phone in the sidebar (it’s under Locations along with any removable drives). All you need to do now is drag the newly renamed .m4r file over the Finder window. Its icon will turn into a plus sign and after a brief pause the bar at the bottom of the window will go back to normal.

10. Find the ringtone

Unlock your iPhone and navigate to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone. This contains a few links including one of the Tone Store, but the bit we’re interested in is under the Ringtones heading. The first section is our own user-created ringtones; the second, all the standard ringtones that came with your iPhone.

11. Pick your tone

All you need to do now is tap on your ringtone – here, Bizarre Love Triangle – and your iPhone will play it. Congratulations: you’ve created and installed your own ringtone.

How to make a custom iPhone ringtone in iOS 15

Apple has a wide array of default ringtones included in the iPhone. With a few taps, anyone can change the ringtone from the default to one of many alternatives.

If what is included in iOS doesn't work for you, there's also a sea of ringtones available to buy from the iTunes Store. With a wealth of sounds available, you could easily acquire part of a favorite song to hear whenever your phone starts ringing.

Not everyone wants to spend money on a ringtone, though. Furthermore, not everyone wants to use the same snippet of a popular song if others are doing the same thing.

One option is to create your own ringtone. A unique signal that is personal just to you and your devices.

Here's how you can put your audio masterpiece as your alert sound on your iPhone.

Method 1: Wired Syncing

There are a few steps to creating the ringtone, and the first is to make the actual ringtone itself.

You can do this in a few ways, such as by clipping down a DRM-free MP3 or creating something entirely from scratch. On Mac, your best bet for doing either is via GarageBand.

In GarageBand for macOS, create a new project. You will have to play around with the various settings and instruments to create a track to your liking, but make sure it is reasonably brief, such as 30 seconds or less.

If you have a non-DRM MP3 file that you want to trim, you can import it to GarageBand and cut it down to just the chunk of audio you need. Alternately, you could slap some of Apple's loops together to make a suitable composition.

How to turn a GarageBand project into an iPhone ringtone by syncing via Finder.

• Once you are finished with the composition or edit, click Share , then Export Song to Disk .
• Give the tone a name and set the save location as appropriate. The desktop would be ideal for one-off transfers.
• Make sure it is set to AAC , and click Export .
• Right-click the ringtone file and rename it, changing the suffix from .m4a to .m4r . While functionally similar, the iPhone will recognize the latter as a ringtone file.
• Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning-to-USB cable.
• Open Finder and select the iPhone .
• Drag the ringtone file onto the Finder window.
• Once it has transferred over, you can access the ringtone on the iPhone.
• On the iPhone, open Settings and select Sound & Haptics .
• Tap Ringtone and select your new custom ringtone . It will usually be pushed near the top of the list.

Method 2: Garageband Directly

If you have GarageBand installed on both your Mac and your iPhone, you could use iCloud Drive to work on the ringtone on the Mac, then transfer it to the iPhone for the final export.

Doing so this way also allows you to find out what the ringtone sounds like through the iPhone's speakers before officially setting it as the ringtone. Further tweaks can be made before the final export.

How to transfer a GarageBand project from Mac to iPhone and save as a ringtone.

• Create your ringtone in GarageBand on Mac.
• Once complete, click Share , then Project to GarageBand for iOS
• Give the project an appropriate name and save it within iCloud Drive by clicking Save.
• On the iPhone, open GarageBand .
• Tap the dropdown arrow in the top left, then My Songs .
• Tap Browse and find the saved project in iCloud Drive. Tap and hold , then select Share .
• Under Share Song, select Ringtone .
• Enter the name of the ringtone, then tap Export .
• Open Settings and select Sound & Haptics .
• Tap Ringtone and select your new custom ringtone .

Since this second method relies on using GarageBand on the iPhone to export, you could eliminate using the Mac altogether and create the ringtone entirely on the mobile device.

Once you have finished making the creation, you must go into the project browser, hold down the file to find the Share menu, then follow the rest of the process for creating the actual ringtone.

How to Change the Default Ringtone on Your iPhone

Personalize your iPhone for your needs

• Ithaca College

• Switching from Android

What to Know

• Go to Settings  >  Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone . Find the ringtone you want to use and tap it.
• You can use a third-party app to create a custom ringtone, then set it as your default using the above method.
• Change your phone's vibrations by going to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone >  Vibration . Choose a preset or custom vibration.

This article explains how to change the default ringtone on an iPhone. It's one of the easiest ways to customize your iPhone. Instructions article apply to iOS 12 and up, but the steps and functionality are similar for older versions of iOS.

How to Change the Default iPhone Ringtone

To change your iPhone's default ringtone, follow these steps:

Tap the Settings app > Sounds & Haptics (on some older devices, tap Sounds ).

In the Sounds and Vibration Patterns section, tap Ringtone .

On the Ringtone screen, tap a ringtone. Each ringtone you tap will play so you can hear what it sounds like.

The iPhone comes with dozens of ringtones pre-loaded. If you want to buy new ringtones, tap Tone Store (on some older models, tap Store in the upper-right corner, then tap Tones ).

If you've never downloaded and installed ringtones, learn how to buy ringtones on the iPhone .

Alert Tones are normally used for alarms and other notifications but can be used as ringtones.

When you find the ringtone you want to use as the default, tap it so that the checkmark appears next to it.

To go back to the previous screen, tap Sounds & Haptics  in the upper-left corner or ​ use the iPhone Home button to go to the home screen. Your ringtone choice is saved automatically.

Whenever you get a call, the ringtone you selected will play unless you assigned individual ringtones to callers. If you've set a specific ringtone for an individual, that ringtone plays instead. Just remember to listen for that sound, and not a ringing phone, so you don't miss any calls.

By default, the same ringtone plays no matter who calls you, but you can also learn how to set unique ringtones for each contact on your iPhone .

How to Create Custom iPhone Ringtones

Want to use a favorite song as a ringtone instead of one of the iPhone's built-in sounds? You can! You just need a little bit of software to create your own ringtone. Find the song you want to use and get an app to create the ringtone. After you install the app, create the ringtone and add it to your iPhone.

How to Change Vibrations on iPhone

You can also change the vibration pattern the iPhone uses when you get a call. This variation can be helpful when you turn off the iPhone ringer but still want to know you're getting a call. It's also useful for people with hearing impairments. Vibrations are created by the iPhone's support for haptics .

To change the default vibration pattern:

Tap Settings .

Tap Sounds & Haptics (or Sounds ).

Move either the Vibrate on Ring or Vibrate on Silent (or both) to on/green.

Tap Vibration .

Tap the pre-loaded options to test them or tap Create New Vibration to make your own.

To select a vibration pattern, tap it so that a checkmark appears next to it. Your choice is automatically saved.

Just like ringtones, different vibration patterns can be set for individual contacts. Follow the same steps as setting ringtones and look for the Vibration option.

Problems with ringtones can lead to an iPhone not ringing when calls come in, but there are a number of other issues that can also cause that problem. Learn how to fix the iPhone not ringing problem .

The preferred audio format for iPhones is AAC . Typically, AAC files use the .M4A file extension.

First, transfer your Android ringtones to the appropriate format and upload them to your computer. Connect your iPhone, go to iTunes, then move the ringtones to the Tones section.

To set a song as an iPhone alarm , go to the Clock app and tap Alarm > Add ( + ). Enter a time, then tap Sound and choose a song. You can only use songs that are saved in the Music app on your iPhone.

Sorry you can only set a universal sound for email account, you can't set specific tone like you can for text or ringtone.

You can let Apple know here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Thank you so much.... I now realize that only ringtones and messages are supported.

Dec 2, 2015 9:12 AM in response to garyfromweeki wachee

You're welcome.

Dec 2, 2015 9:46 AM in response to ChrisJ4203

Thank you. The question pertained to individual e/mail accounts, not text. Even if I go to mail, click on the two I have, and change tone to each, my incoming tone is still what was set in my default mail client . I have G/mail and Yahoo apps. I wanted each to have their own separate tones.

Dec 2, 2015 9:51 AM in response to garyfromweeki wachee

You can change the tones for the individual accounts in Notifications for the native mail client, but I'm not aware of changes to using other mail apps such as G/Mail or Yahoo.

Dec 2, 2015 10:24 AM in response to ChrisJ4203

Thanks, that's what I've found. But, if I go to settings, Notifications- Mail- then highlight allow notifications, then Sounds- then click on my Yahoo or Gmail account, it then shows next to sounds whatever I want to select. I have chosen a different tone for each but, when receiving any mail (either Gmail or Yahoo ) it uses my Yahoo account tone I had selected for both. In other words, both have the same tone still.... I understand there are apps to do what I'm attempting to do, but I don't want to go that route..... I'm using an older iPhone 4s with ios 9.1. Thanks for your response though...... Gary

Dec 2, 2015 11:26 AM in response to garyfromweeki wachee

I'm not sure why both accounts are using the same sound, as that is not what it is supposed to do if you have selected different sounds for each in Notifications. You were the one that mentioned apps, that is why I said I did not understand how the apps work. I wasn't asking you to go that route. You could work a little more for troubleshooting why the two accounts are doing that, since it appears that you are setting these sounds correctly.

People are freaking out over the iOS 17 text tone — here's how to change it back

iOS 17's new default tone is controversial, but it can be changed back

iOS 17 has seen countless changes come to the iPhone, and some are more subtle than others. One such change is the default text-tone, with Apple swapping out the classic “Tri-tone” for the much quieter “Rebound." And some people aren’t happy about it

This isn’t to say that Apple doesn’t give you a choice in what text tone you have, and you can change the tone back to Tri-Tone if you want to. Unfortunately, it seems that people aren’t quite aware of this, because the old notification tones now live in their own separate menu. But that hasn’t stopped people from complaining about how quiet Rebound is compared to the old default option.

Users have been expressing their displeasure on Twitter/X , declaring the new tone to be “weird”, “horrendous” or that the new sound is “like a submarine now." Another user even went so far as to claim the tone makes them feel like they were on a call that just hung up. Various threads on Reddit have some of the same complaints, with one user hoping that Apple CEO Tim Cook misses his notifications so that users get the option to change back.

If you’re one of the people that really doesn’t like Rebound, or any of the other standard text tones in iOS 17, here’s how you can change the sound back to the old hard-to-miss jingle. 

Just be aware that this change won’t apply to all third-party apps, but changing some tones to something that’s easier to hear is better than nothing.

1. Head to settings > Sound & Haptics

Your first step is to open the Settings menu and tap the Sounds & Haptics option

2. Tap Text Tone > Classic

From there open up the Text Tone menu, and scroll down to the very bottom of the page and tap the Classic option

3. Pick the Tri-Tone option

This page has all the old iPhone notification tones that existed pre-iOS 17. They’re in alphabetical order, so scroll down to the bottom and select Tri-Tone.

With that you should get text messages coming through with the old Tri-Tone sounds, or whatever other tone you might end up picking instead. After all, there are 20 new ring and text tones in iOS 17 , plus all the options you had before the upgrade.

It should be significantly easier to find a sound that ensure you hear a notification pop-up — assuming you haven’t switched your phone into silent mode.

• Cabo77 People are not talking about the sound for text messages, rather, the sound for notifications. Totally separate thing. It is now very difficult to hear the default "notification" sound for apps that use the notification center. So anytime we get notifications from various apps like doorbell cameras, security cameras or any other app that uses the notification center, you can't hear them well since the notification sound has been changed in iOS17 (to Rebound) and you can't change it. This is especially difficult for people such as myself that only have 25% hearing in one ear. I have missed numerous notifications since the upgrade. Reply

iOS 17 has 24 new ringtones - here's how to access them

• Apple has quietly added 24 new ringtones, as well as 12 new text tones

We've all been there - you hear the 'Classic' ringtone playing out, and immediately reach for your iPhone . 

But the days of realising it's not your phone ringing after all could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Apple's latest iOS 17 update. 

The tech giant has quietly added 24 new ringtones in the udpate, as well as 12 new text tones. 

Several impressed users have taken to Twitter to discuss the new ringtones, with one joking: 'Yoooo the iOS 17 arpeggio ringtone goes so hard.'

Here's how you can access the new ringtones on iOS 17. 

READ MORE: How to download iOS 17 

To access the new ringtones, you'll first need to make sure your iPhone has been udpated to iOS 17. 

To do this, open the Settings app, then General > Software Update. If this does not say iOS 17.0, you'll need to update your iPhone. 

Once the update is complete, you can find the new ringtones by opening the Settings app and then Sounds & Haptics. 

Tap Ringtone and you'll be able to scroll through the list of 24 new ringtones. 

Meanwhile, tapping Text Tone will let you browse the 12 new text tones.

Many users have already played around with the new tones.

One user shared a video of the 'Journey' ringtone, writing 'is nobody gonna mention ios 17 has the final fantasy theme for a ringtone.'

Another noticed that the iPhone's default ringtone, 'Reflection', has been updated, with one writing: 'I just love the slight improvement to the iPhone ringtone on iOS 17.' 

Aside from the new ringtones, iOS 17 has several other exciting features: 

1. Check In

With Apple's new Check In feature, you'll automatically be notified when a family member or friend gets to their destination safely .

'After a user initiates a Check In, their friend or family member will automatically be notified as soon as the user arrives,' Apple explained. 

'If they are not making progress toward their destination, useful information will be temporarily shared with the selected contact, such as the device's location, battery level, and cell service status. 

'Any information shared is end-to-end encrypted.'

2. Live Voicemail 

If you're over a certain age, you'll remember old-school voicemail machines — the kind that let you pick up the phone in the middle of the message if you decided the call was worth answering. 

Apple's bringing that back with the Live Voicemail feature, which transcribes the message in real time and lets you take the call .

'Live Voicemail gives users the ability to see real-time transcription as someone leaves a voicemail, and the opportunity to pick up while the caller is leaving their message,' Apple said. 

'Calls identified as spam by carriers won't appear as Live Voicemail, and will instead be instantly declined. With the power of the Neural Engine, Live Voicemail transcription is handled on-device and remains entirely private.'

3. NameDrop 

The days of having to manually type a new friend's contact details into your iPhone are a thing of the past in iOS 17. 

The update includes the ability to share your contact details, simply by bringing your iPhone close to another .  

'NameDrop allows users to easily share contact information by simply bringing their iPhones together, or by bringing an iPhone and Apple Watch together,' Apple said. 

'With the same gesture, users can also share content or start SharePlay to listen to music, watch a movie, or play a game while in close proximity between iPhone devices.'

If your iPhone is charing across the room, it can be annoying having to stand up to check what notifications are coming through. 

But a new feature in iOS 17 called StandBy will make it much easier to glance over at your device. 

'StandBy gives users a full-screen experience with glanceable information designed to be viewed from a distance when iPhone is on its side and charging,' Apple said. 

'StandBy is perfect on a nightstand, kitchen counter, or desk, and can be personalised to display a range of beautiful clock styles, favourite photos, or widgets, including Smart Stacks, which surface the right widgets at the right time.' 

5. Screen Distance

The Screen Time tool has a new feature called Screen Distance, which will alert you if you're holding your iPhone too close to your face . 

'Screen Distance uses the TrueDepth camera to encourage users to move their device farther away after holding it closer than 12 inches from their face for an extended period of time,' Apple said. 

6. Autocorrect improvements

iOS 17 will keep Apple's autocorrect feature from correcting one of the English language's favoured expletives to 'ducking.'  

'Autocorrect receives a comprehensive update with a transformer language model, a state-of-the-art on-device machine learning language model for word prediction — improving the experience and accuracy for users every time they type,' Apple said.

'It also receives a refreshed design to better support typing, and sentence-level autocorrections can fix more types of grammatical mistakes.'

Iphone volume keeps going down by itself here’s how to fix it.

Learn how to keep the volume at the level you like.

Quick Links

Why does your iphone reduce volume automatically, how to stop iphone from decreasing volume on its own, key takeaways.

• Attention Aware, Reduce Loud Sounds, and accidental button presses can all cause your iPhone's volume to decrease automatically.
• To fix this issue, you can disable Attention-Aware features, turn off the ability to change volume with buttons, and disable Reduce Loud Sounds.
• If the problem persists, disable Bluetooth, turn off Focus, and restart your iPhone. If all else fails, contact Apple Customer Support.

Does your iPhone automatically lower the music, video, or ringtone volume? Don't worry; you can resolve it by turning off iOS features like Attention Aware, Reduce Loud Sounds, and further troubleshooting. Here's how to fix automatic volume decreases on your iPhone.

Your iPhone may automatically decrease its ringer or media volume due to various reasons, such as:

• Attention Aware is enabled, causing the ringtone volume to drop when looking at the iPhone.
• The device is set to reduce "Loud Sounds" when using headphones to protect your hearing.
• The volume keys are being pressed inadvertently, turning down the audio levels.
• Your iPhone is auto-enabling Do Not Disturb or Focus mode.
• A damaged volume button or liquid ingression causes the volume to decrease.

We'll start by turning off iOS features that affect the device's volume and related changes. These are ideal fixes as they are software-based and easy to act upon (and if they work, that means there are no physical issues or damage to your phone).

Disable "Attention-Aware"

Attention-Aware features on iPhone use the TrueDepth camera to detect whether you're paying attention to the device. When you're looking at the screen, it lowers the volume for ringtones and other alerts. And when it thinks you're not, the display dims automatically to save battery.

So, if you notice a reduced ringer volume on your iPhone, it could be that Attention-Aware is automatically lowering it in the background. Here's how to turn it off.

First, open "Settings" on your iPhone.

Tap "Face ID & Passcode." Enter your iPhone passcode for access.

Scroll down and disable "Attention-Aware Features."

Turn Off "Change with Buttons"

iOS is set to change the ringer volume with the keys by default. And them being pressed accidentally when in your pocket or purse can mute or dampen the ringer volume. To avoid missing calls, consider disabling Change with Buttons in settings, as follows:

Open "Settings" on your iPhone, then scroll down and select "Sounds & Haptics."

Turn off the switch for "Change with Buttons."

That's it. Volume buttons will no longer affect the volume of the ringtones and alerts. You can always re-enable it later if it doesn't solve your issue.

Disable "Reduce Loud Sounds"

The Reduce Loud Sounds feature on iPhones automatically lowers the audio volume when played above a certain level through headphones.

While the intent is to protect your hearing from being damaged by loud sounds, your iPhone may become too quiet as it automatically reduces volume while you listen to music on headphones. Here's how you can turn it off:

On your iPhone, head to Settings > Sounds & Haptics.

Here, tap "Headphone Safety."

Turn off the switch for "Reduce Loud Sounds."

Turn Off Bluetooth or Disconnect Devices

At times, volume changes may also happen through Bluetooth devices connected to your iPhone. If the wireless speakers you've paired have physical volume controls, someone could use them to lower the volume.

Likewise, you won't hear audio from your iPhone speakers if they are connected to nearby AirPods or any other wireless audio devices, such as headphones or car stereo.

Therefore, turn off Bluetooth and see if the issue persists. Swipe from the top right corner to open Control Center on your iPhone and tap the "Bluetooth" icon to disable it. It should turn from Blue to White.

If your iPhone keeps connecting to a Bluetooth device you don't recognize, go to "Settings" > "Bluetooth" > and tap "I" next to the connected device.

Tap "Forget This Device."

Finally, tap "Forget Device" to confirm.

Turn Off Focus Mode (and See If It's Scheduled)

Focus Mode is an iOS feature designed to reduce distractions and help you focus on what you're doing. When enabled, it temporarily silences the notifications and other alerts on the device.

If your iPhone goes silent or stops ringing randomly at a particular time of day or specific locations, Focus Mode could be the culprit. You could have accidentally enabled it, created a schedule, or turned on Smart Activation.

When Focus is enabled, its icon appears in the status bar and lock screen. Here's how you can turn it off on your iPhone:

Open "Settings" on your iPhone.

Click on "Focus."

Here, you can view and manage all available Focus Modes: "Do Not Disturb," "Personal," "Sleep," and "Work."

Click on "Smart Activation."

Turn off "Smart Activation" to prevent Focus mode from turning on automatically based on your location, app usage, and more.

Similarly, tap "Work" and disable "Automation" to prevent your iPhone from going silent whenever you arrive at work.

This will prevent Focus mode from turning on automatically based on the time of the day or your current location. You can also disable Focus through Control Center: swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to open Control Center and tap the "Focus" button to turn it off.

Volume Dips Down Randomly When Playing Music?

If your iPhone volume dips or dampens randomly for a second or two when watching videos or listening to music, they're most likely the app notifications . iPhones are designed to temporarily lower the volume to help you hear audible alerts for messages, apps, and games onboard.

For an interruption-free media experience, I'd advise silencing the iPhone through Silent Switch. If you get frequent notifications from a particular app, first go to Settings > (app name).

Click on "Notifications."

Turn off the switch for "Sounds."

This will retain notifications but turn off the audible alerts accompanying them, fixing the volume dip.

Restart Your iPhone

Restarting your iPhone might clear any temporary bugs or glitches caused within iOS or due to third-party software. To restart your iPhone, trigger Siri, say "restart my iPhone," and confirm when prompted.

Alternatively, on iPhones with Face ID, press and hold the Side button and any of the volume keys and slide to power off. Whereas, for iPhones with Touch ID, press and hold the Side button and swipe the slider to switch off. You can then start the iPhone back again by long-pressing the Side key.

Reset the Settings

If you cannot figure out what's causing the abnormal volume changes on your iPhone, it's best to reset it (just the settings, leaving your files and apps intact). Follow the steps below to reset all iPhone settings to factory defaults:

Open Settings on your iPhone. Tap "General."

Next, hit "Transfer or Reset iPhone."

Tap "Reset."

Select "Reset All Settings."

Enter your iPhone passcode to confirm. Your iPhone will remove all customized settings and restore them to default values, including sounds and ringtones, display preferences, and network settings.

Nothing Works? Contact Apple Customer Support

If nothing works and your iPhone keeps fluctuating the volume levels on its own, we'd recommend backing up your iPhone and doing a complete factory reset . However, if that's not possible or you're not confident backing up your device, it would be best to contact Apple Customer Support and get your iPhone checked out and their suggestions for resolving the issue.
