In Short

The new iOS 18.2 brings a new Volume Limit option that lets you set a limit for your iPhone speakers.

There can be instances when you just wish to kill some time by scrolling through social media and your iPhone plays a song or video at a high volume. Well, we all have faced such embarrassment at some point. Thankfully, the new iOS 18.2 beta brings a new Volume Limit option that lets you set a limit on how loud your iPhone speakers can play songs, videos, and other media. So, even if your iPhone’s ringtone volume is at the maximum, your iPhone will play the media at your preferred volume limits. Read on to learn how to set a Volume Limit for media playback on your iPhone.

It’s worth knowing that setting a Volume Limit will not affect the speaker volume for Phone calls, FaceTime calls, emergency calls, alarms, ringtones, system sounds, or Find My Sounds. It will only limit the volume level for media playback through the iPhone speakers.

That’s how you can set a volume limit for media playback on an iPhone. At the moment, the iOS 18.2 developer beta is only available on Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhones. However, a future beta should bring this Volume Limit feature for non-AI devices as well. Apple is likely to roll out the stable version of iOS 18.2 for public use in December.
