Overview
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps for iOS and Android. With over 2 billion users worldwide, WhatsApp has become the main way many people communicate daily. However, a common issue that arises is needing to increase the volume for WhatsApp voice messages, calls, and notifications. Luckily, there are a few different methods to raise the volume on WhatsApp for your iPhone 14 Pro.
Check iOS Volume Settings
The first step is to check your overall iOS volume settings. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics on your iPhone 14 Pro. Here you can drag the Ringer and Alerts slider to the right to increase the volume for incoming calls, alerts, and notifications. You can also drag the ringer slider under Change with Buttons to adjust the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone.
Adjust Notification Settings
WhatsApp lets you control the notification volume separately from your overall iOS volume. Open WhatsApp and go to Settings > Notifications > Sounds. Here you can toggle on the Use Custom Sounds switch. Then select a loud notification sound to really make WhatsApp calls and messages audible.
Change WhatsApp Call Volume
To increase the volume for WhatsApp voice and video calls, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Under Ringer and Alerts, toggle on the Change with Buttons switch. Now when you are on a WhatsApp call, press the volume up button on the side of your iPhone 14 Pro to raise the call volume.
Use a Bluetooth Speaker
Another option is to pair a Bluetooth speaker to your iPhone 14 Pro and route the WhatsApp audio through that. This allows you to adjust the volume on the external speaker itself. To do this:
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth and pair your speaker.
- Start a WhatsApp voice message or call.
- Tap the Audio output icon on the call/message screen.
- Select your Bluetooth speaker.
- Adjust the volume as needed directly on your speaker.
This gives you independent volume control over just your WhatsApp audio.
Check Earphone Volume
If you listen to WhatsApp voice notes and calls using earphones, make sure the volume on the earphones themselves is turned up. The volume buttons on iPhone only control internal volume, not connected audio devices. Use the volume controls on your specific earphones to directly increase the volume.
Conclusion
Adjusting WhatsApp volume on iPhone 14 Pro is easy once you know where to look. Try increasing your iOS ringer and alert volume in Settings as a start. Customize the WhatsApp notification volume in the app’s settings. For voice messages and calls, use a Bluetooth speaker or turn up your earphone volume. With these tips, you’ll be able to hear WhatsApp loud and clear on your iPhone 14 Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my WhatsApp volume low on iPhone 14 Pro?
There are a few reasons why WhatsApp volume may be lower than expected on iPhone 14 Pro:
– Your iPhone ringer and alert volume is low – check Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
– WhatsApp notifications are using a soft, quiet sound – customize in WhatsApp > Settings > Notifications > Sounds.
– Volume is lowered on connected Bluetooth speaker or earphones – adjust volume directly on those devices.
– A bug or glitch is affecting the app volume – try force quitting and reopening WhatsApp.
How can I increase WhatsApp call volume?
To increase the volume for WhatsApp calls, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and toggle on the Change with Buttons switch under Ringer and Alerts. Then when on a WhatsApp call, use the volume up button on your iPhone 14 Pro to raise the call volume. You can also route the WhatsApp call audio through a Bluetooth speaker and adjust volume on the speaker.
Why is my WhatsApp quiet compared to other sounds?
If WhatsApp volume seems lower than expected even at full volume, the app volume could be out of sync with your overall iOS volume. Check Settings > Sounds & Haptics and make sure the Ringer and Alerts slider is also turned up fully. You can also customize the WhatsApp notification sound in the app’s settings to choose a louder, more audible sound.
How do I make WhatsApp notifications louder?
Open WhatsApp, go to Settings > Notifications > Sounds and toggle on the Use Custom Sounds switch. Here you can select a louder, more prominent sound for incoming WhatsApp notifications. Make sure your overall iOS volume is also turned up in Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
Why are my WhatsApp calls still quiet through my Bluetooth speaker?
If WhatsApp call volume is low even when routed through a Bluetooth speaker, first make sure the speaker itself is turned up to full volume. You can also go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the “i” next to the speaker, and slide the WhatsApp volume slider to the maximum. Finally, adjust iPhone volume with the buttons during a WhatsApp call for the loudest volume through the speaker.
