How can I turn off headphone warning on my iPhone 15 Pro Max?

I keep receiving warnings that I am listening to music too loud on my headphones, and I should lower the volume to avoid hearing damage. I do not even use headphones. I have a bluetooth speaker, with an analogue volume knob, so I have to turn the iPhone volume all the way up, so that I can control the full range of volume with the knob.


Is there a way to disable this warnings? Or somehow "inform" iPhone that the device I am listening on is not headphones?

In some parts of the world, it's not possible to disable the headphones notification and unfortunately, your phone see's a Bluetooth device as a Bluetooth device whether it is a speaker or headphone.


Open the Settings App

Tap Accessibility

Audio & Visual

See if you can turn off Headphone Notifications


If you can turn it off, then it will work. If you can't, then you live in a location where it is mandated you get the notification.

Go to Settings>Bluetooth and find your speakers. Tap on the "i". Make sure "Device Type" is set to "Speaker."

I thought of that, but not all devices permit you to choose the type of device it is. For example, I have a Sony Bluetooth Speaker, which when you tap the i, only lets you forget the device, not choose if it's a speaker or not.

But worth a try, I guess?
