When you navigate to an address using Apple Maps, you'll usually hear a voice that gives you step-by-step directions. If you don't hear audible directions, it's usually because voice directions were disabled in your settings. To turn it back on, just tap the route, select "Audio," and then choose low, normal, or loud volume. As long as your iPhone isn't on silent, you'll then hear turn-by-turn directions as you drive, walk, or bike around town. We'll show you two different ways to turn on voice directions in the Apple Maps app on your iPhone.
Steps
- Start navigating with Apple Maps. Open the app, which looks like a colorful street map, enter a destination, and start the tip.
- Tap the route card. It's at the bottom of your screen.Advertisement
- Tap Audio. It's the icon of a speaker in the bottom row.
- Tap Low Volume, Normal Volume, or Loud Volume. You can also turn off the voice directions by tapping No Voice.
