iPhone speaker not working or very quiet
First, check if the mute switch on the left side is turned on (you'll see orange). If it is, flip it up. If that doesn't work, check the volume buttons and make sure Do Not Disturb is off.
No sound from the speaker means the mute switch is on, volume is down, Do Not Disturb is enabled, Bluetooth is routing audio elsewhere, or the speaker port is blocked by debris. Most issues are fixed by toggling the mute switch or adjusting volume.
