It often goes without saying that with each new version, Apple has a tendency to update and improve the design of their products.

And it’s safe to say the iPhone 14 Pro Max clearly stood up to that mark and introduced features like the Dynamic Island, Always-On display, and advancements in connectivity functions.

However, such features don’t guarantee an absolutely bug free experience. Rather we have come across various issues that affect users’ experience (1,2).

iPhone 14 Pro Max loud text notification when on call

Ever since iPhone 14 Pro Max release, people have been complaining about a weird bug where the notifications for incoming text messages are particularly audible or loud during phone calls (1,2,3,4,5).

Never have I had blasting notifications during a phone call until my new 14. No, I do not want to toggle it into Silent Mode each time I have a call. When is this going to be fixed? Anyone have a solution?

I’m having the same problem as some users here. The ringtone is SUPER loud when a text comes through when I’m on the phone. I’ve tried all of the suggestions from previous threads but they are not working. Any other suggestions?

Reports suggest that the sound of the notifications is sometimes so loud that it almost feels like it is blasting the tone in the ear. Unfortunately, no amount of troubleshooting has been able to fix the problem yet.

As a result, users find themselves unable to disable/turn off the sound of text notification while they are on a call. It has only made some reluctant to take calls since the noise is extremely loud for their ears.

Several iPhone 13 and 12 users have also reported the same bug, even though it is frequently seen among iPhone 14 Pro Max owners. Altogether, it is a very annoying bug and users hope to have some respite soon.

Official acknowledgment

It has been alleged that Apple is aware of the issue and is currently working on a fix. However, no ETA has been shared by the team yet.

As a workaround, you can set your phone to silent mode while you’re on phone calls. But it surely is a task to remember to turn it back on after the call. However, it’ll surely save your eardrum from being damaged.

A workaround is just to put your phone switch on silent while you’re on a call but then you have to remember to turn it back on once you’re done your call it’s kind of a pain in the ass but it saves your eardrum
