iPhone Settings

To change the volume in Apple Maps I have been instructed to do the following steps.



To adjust the volume in Apple Maps, go to Settings, select Maps, tap open "Driving & Navigation"


The problem is that I can't find "Driving & Navigation" in the settings options. Is there a step that I'm missing?


Thanks

iPhone SE, iOS 15

This is not helpful as just last night I was in the car with my daughter and attempted to adjust the volume and it began so speak louder and then immediately the next direction was so quiet I barely even knew she was speaking at all and as we were on the highway after I had been struggling for 30 minutes on the side of the road to resolve the volume situation I accidentally noticed our exit and tried to quickly glance at the map to be sure and narrowly avoided a serious collision with another vehicle. I bought a new car this year and was delighted with the option of being able to use apple CarPlay and the available features but this situation with Apple Maps is not a little bit annoying, it’s dangerous

Hi Jumble,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Sorry I'm no expert, but your question surely deserves some response.


Re: Is there a step that I'm missing?


Seems things have changed with iOS 15 ... some find an issue with the volume in Apple Maps


(The issue does not seem to have been addressed in recent updates

ie ... About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Support


Apple support have an article online (link below) that may help:

(Seems it is best to adjust the volume while Maps is actually in use.)


Things you can do while following a route in Maps on iPhone – Apple Support

Eg: Says:

"Change other settings for spoken directions

To change the volume, press the volume buttons on the side of iPhone.

In Settings , you can choose whether to pause spoken audio (like podcasts and audio books) during spoken directions and whether to wake iPhone for spoken directions. When iPhone is connected to a compatible car’s audio system, you can also choose to hear spoken directions while listening to the radio.

Go to Settings > Maps > Spoken Directions, then select your options".
