    • Your phone’s ringer will sound while you’re adjusting, so you’ll be able to hear the volume level you’re setting.
    • If you want to change your alarm volume in the future, slide the Change with Buttons setting to the "On" position. This setting is underneath the volume slider. Doing this will enable you to adjust your alarm’s volume using your iPhone’s volume buttons when the phone is unlocked.

    Make sure your ringer is on. If it is on, go to sound and/or notifications and increase the ringer volume.
