If you’re reading this article then it’s likely that you have experienced something that is pretty common among Spotify users.
You are playing a song in the app, then the next song comes on and it’s either much quieter or much louder than the previous one.
This issue arises because individual songs are produced differently, and the volume level for one song may not be similar to the volume level of the next song.
Spotify attempts to help with this issue via the “Enable Audio Normalization” setting in the app. Our tutorial below will show you where to find and enable this setting on your iPhone.

- Open Spotify.
- Select the Your Library tab.
- Tap the gear icon at the top-right of the screen.

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus in iOS 11.4.1, using the most current version of the Spotify app that was available when the article was written.
Ideally this setting is supposed to make it so that you have a consistent volume as you play different songs in the Spotify app. However, many users report that there is little difference in the volume levels, even when this setting is turned on.

Step 3: Select the gear icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
Step 4: Choose the Playback option.
