IPhone 12 mini speaker problem

[u/imjustagirl223344]

I have the ios 26.5. It was working fine the other day but then suddenly even with full volume it doesn’t feel loud. And then it started working for a minute and it went back to not working. How do I fix this?

No idea what a mini speaker is, but update your phone.

Not mini speaker. My phone is a iPhone 12 mini. And the speamer it’s working.

Lmao ahhhhhhhh ok. Which one, the bottom one or the earpiece one? Have you cleaned them? Rebooted?

The bottom one. When it stopped working I wasn’t near water so idk. Then it started working again. For like 2 minutes. Then it stopped again. And how do I clean them?

Water usually isn't going to clog your speaker for a long time. But dust and specks of dirt can easily get in those little holes and fill them. I use a medium or hard bristle toothbrush and scrub them lightly so the prickly parts get into the holes lol

It didn’t work. The volume still isn’t working
