Easy iPhone hacks to make your music louder – so you can use it as a speaker

FEELING unimpressed by your iPhone’s loudness? There are some easy tricks to help you crank up the volume.

We’ve rounded up the quickest hacks to make your iPhone music loud enough to use as a basic speaker.

Turn off iPhone volume limiter

The first thing you need to do is turn off the volume limiter.

This is designed to stop you from hurting your ears by playing music too loud.

Of course, it’s not essential – and will be excessive for many users, so feel free to turn it off.

Simply go into Settings > Music, and then scroll down to Volume Limit.

Toggle it off and you’re sorted.

Adjust iPhone EQ

Your iPhone has an equaliser that balances out the sound of your music.

They’re turned off by default, but they needn’t (and shouldn’t) be.

Go into Settings > Music > EQ and turn it on, then check out all of the new equaliser settings you can use.

What you want is the Late Night setting, which jacks up the volume of quieter sounds, making the overall music louder.

It’s the easiest way to boost your music’s loudness.

Put your iPhone in an empty bowl

This easy hack essentially creates an echo chamber, which will amplify the sound.

Make sure the bowl you put your iPhone in is empty and its speakers are pointing downwards.

If you can’t find a bowl, try using a mug.

Use your hands

If you’re holding your iPhone and want it to sound louder, try cupping your hand around the speaker.

This should then direct the sound towards you.

Wall method

Hold or place your iPhone next to a wall.

Make sure that it’s at a 45-degree angle.

The sound will then reflect off the wall and appear louder.

Upside down iPhone

If you’re trying to listen to music, turn your iPhone upside down so the sound is reflecting upwards.

This is because iPhone speakers are located at the bottom of the device.

Propping up the device and using certain cases can also muffle the sound from these speakers.

In other news, the release dates for the new two iPhones may have been leaked.

Fortnite has been banned on iPhone and Android.

And beware these terrifying but popular iPhone scams.
