earpiece call volume suddenly become too low afte updating to 27.01

After updating my iPhone 13 to iOS 27.0.1, my normal call earpiece volume has become extremely low, even at maximum volume. I can barely hear the other person during calls.


WhatsApp calls and loudspeaker calls work perfectly. I’ve cleaned the earpiece, but the issue persists. Everything was working fine before the update.


Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a solution?

Try and force restart the iPhone to see if the issues persist


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
