You can also activate voice instructions in the settings (go to Profile > Settings (gear icon)) of the app.

Check your phone's sound settings

Please make sure that the volume of your notification sounds is set high enough in the general settings of your smartphone.

Press the "louder" button

Press the "louder" button on your smartphone right after you start the navigation or at the exact moment you expect a new voice instruction to easily increase the volume of the instructions.

Check "Headphone Safety" settings (apple_2x.png iOS only)

On newer versions of iOS, there is a feature called "Headphone Safety". You can find this by going to Settings > Sound & Haptics > Headphone Safety. Once there, check the "Reduce Loud Sounds" slider is switched to off.
