Find the volume buttons located on the side of the iPhone. On the left side of the phone, just below the ringer switch, are two oval buttons used to manually control the iPhone’s volume level.

Press the button located at the bottom to decrease the volume. When you press the button below, the iPhone’s volume will decrease. Continue using these two buttons to fine-tune the volume level until you feel satisfied.

When you press the volume buttons, a small window showing the current iPhone volume level will appear.
It’s helpful to play a song or audio clip during the tweaking process, so you can hear the loudness of the sound as it changes.

Using the Settings app

Open the Settings app and go to the “Sounds & Haptics” section. Here, you can change the volume of calls, alarms, notifications, and other tones. In the middle of the page there is a slider that shows the volume levels of these tones.

Drag the slider located below the “Ringer and Alerts” heading to change the volume of these sounds.

As you drag the slider, the ringtone sample tone will play so you can hear the exact ring loudness at each fine-tuned level.
In this setting, you also have the option to change the ringer and alarm volume using physical buttons. If you want to enable this setting, tap the “Change with Buttons” option located below the volume slider. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Change the volume by dragging up or down in the volume level pane. In the Contrp Center, the button that represents the volume level is indicated by a sound icon. You can control the iPhone’s volume in this pane by dragging the volume level up or down with your finger.

The button indicating the volume level is on the right, below the music control frame and right next to the brightness control frame.
