No voice messages when using navigation on the iPhone can be very problematic.Navigation without messages forces taking your eyes off the road, which negatively translates into driving safety.With such a half -acting navigation, it's easy to get lost or cause an accident.Although the problem with the sound can affect any application, on the example of Apple Maps you will see how it can be solved.
Many factors can cause incorrect operation of voice navigation messages in Apple Map.It can be a completely banal problem in the form of an overlooking a simple application setting, or something more complex like an iOS update that went wrong.Unfortunately, there is no one universal solution that would restart voice messages in Apple maps, but you can try to solve the problem by following the methods described below.
Check the volume settings
Yes, it sounds trivial, but at the beginning make sure your iPhone is not set to the lowest volume level.It is true that navigation cannot be completely silenced in the Apple maps using the iPhone volume buttons, even if the bell/silence switch is set to silence, but in a loud environment the lowest volume level may be too low to hear messages.To check this, press the volume button on the iPhone to turn up the sound.
Increase the volume at Apple Maps
If the above trick did not work, you may need to go to the iPhone settings application to check the default volume settings for Apple Maps. Otwórz aplikację Ustawienia, wybierz kolejno Mapy > Nawigacja i wskazówki, a następnie sprawdź ustawienia w sekcji Głośność instrukcji nawigacji.Make sure the volume of the navigation voice is not set for a lack of voice.To make the messages be heard well, get a normal or loud option.
Hold other media during navigation messages
If you listen to podcasts or audiobooks while using navigation, you may not hear Apple Maps navigation monitors correctly.However, this can be remedied without giving up listening to your favorite content.Open the Settings application, select maps, then navigation and tips.Now move the switch to the right. Return the speech sound.Thanks to this, before giving a message from navigation, the iPhone will suspend playing the podcast or ebook, and after a message will automatically resume playback.
Check the connection with the multimedia system of your car
If you still do not hear voice navigation messages in Apple maps, it will not hurt to check if your iPhone is correctly paired with the car, especially if you use Bluetooth not only for sound transmission to the car multimedia system, but also for headphones or portable speakers.It is clear that you will not be able to hear voice navigation or other multimedia in the loudspeakers of the car, if your iPhone is connected to the headphones that you can be with you in your pocket or bag.
Run the application settings on the iPhone and select Bluetooth to see which device with your iPhone is currently.From there, choose a Bluetooth connection of the car from the list of available devices, if it is no longer paired with it.
By the way, make sure in the vehicle settings that the multimedia system is connected to the iPhone, and not to other saved devices.Of course, you should also make sure that the volume of the sound in the car is properly set so that you can hear properly voice navigation messages.
Forced closing the Apple map application
If you tried the above tips, but you still can't hear any voice messages in the Apple maps, maybe the problem is in the application itself and errors in cooperation with iOS.In this case, try to force the Apple map application and check if this will solve the problem.
Forcing closing of the application is a simple procedure and basically consists in pressing the beginning button twice (in the iPhones that have it) or move your finger up from below and stop it in the middle.Find the Apple map application on the list and move it with your finger up to (iPhones with the beginning button) or press and hold it, then move your finger up or press the button ( -) (Models from Face ID).Open the Apple maps again to force them to close and check the voice messages by activating navigation.
Clear the device's memory
As an additional precaution, you can try to clean the RAM in your iPhone.Closing the application may not be enough, because some processes can still work in the background.The process of cleaning RAM varies depending on whether you have an iPhone with face ID or Touch ID.
To clean the RAM in the Touch ID model, press and hold the sleep/waking button - you can do it from a slow application or directly from the main screen, but you can not do it from the lock screen - until the screen appears.Now press and hold the beginning button.If you started this process from the main screen, after a few seconds of holding the pressed button, you should return to the main screen.Then release the button.

For force the device back to restart
If the restart of Apple Maps and cleaning the RAM did not help, you must force the iPhone to restart to check if this will solve the problem.Making a hard restart on the iPhone is a great way to solve software problems, such as non -confirming and defective applications, so if you tried all the above tips and you still do not get voice navigation in Apple Maps, then perform the following steps.
On the iPhones with the Touch ID or the Getting button, this can be done, simply holding the power button and the beginning button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
