On my old-ass Samsung, you cannot turn down the volume while that message is shown. So when your phone is in a pocket and you increase the volume but don’t notice that the message appeared, you cannot save your ears when the next song actually is much louder.
Yes. I flippin HATE that “feature”. I own you. You do what I tell you!

Precisely why I use as open hardware as I can, which isn’t much in the world of phones : (
I like this warning. Many young people already suffer from hearing loss due to excessive volume. But I cannot understand why they don’t measure how loud the song actually is right now. I have many songs in my library that just are not mixed as loud, or start quietly and then ramp up. Why do I get the ‘your music is too loud’ message for those?
The phone manufacturer can only guess how loud it actually is to your ears. Every pair of headphones outputs at a different volume, and more expensive ones tend to be quieter for reasons I forget.
iPhones will do this even when you’re connected to an external device. Like I’m using you as a source, I want high signal-to-noise ratio, not constant nannying nonsense
Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.
Way too deep (as usual in todays world).
Just yesterday I was wrangling my phone because my passwort manager stopped showing inline overlays for passwords.
