Volume control??

Why has this been introduced with absolutely no way to turn it off?

I understand it, I’m not daft, but surely apple knowing they can’t differentiate between a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a Bluetooth adapter for a cars aux or a Bluetooth speaker needs to be taken into account?

Is this my life now? Fighting with my iPhone over whether my music is too loud? Is there any way this is gonna be taken off in the next update?

I hate to even admit this to myself but there’s a good chance I’m going over to the dark side if it isn’t fixed because it’s driving me mad.

About headphone notifications and volume

Listening to audio on your headphones too loud for too long can damage your hearing. Headphone Notifications let you know if your audio exposure has been loud enough for long enough to affect your hearing—for example, over 80 decibels (dB) for 40 hours total within the last 7 days.

Your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch can now alert you when you’ve exceeded 100% of the 7-day exposure limit while wearing headphones.* These notifications give you more awareness around your listening habits to help you protect your hearing. When you receive a notification, you’ll hear a chime, and your volume will turn down automatically. You can dismiss the notification and turn your volume back up if you choose.

*The 7-day exposure limit applies only to media audio. Phone calls do not count towards your headphone audio exposure.

Check the Screen Time Restrictions, first, Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Reduce Loud Sounds
