How to use Background Sounds on iPhone and iPad – iMore

Perhaps the most prominent new feature of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is Focus, an enhanced Do Not Disturb tool that makes it possible to schedule which type of notifications you receive depending on the time of day. It's just the latest in a series of features Apple has added to its products over the years to help users better concentrate, relax, and sleep.

Background Sounds is another wellness feature in iOS/iPadOS 15. As its name suggests, the tool provides sounds to help you relax. Use the feature on all of the best iPhones and best iPads. Here's more about it.

You'll find the new Background Sounds feature in the Accessibility section of iOS/iPadOS. To activate:

Scroll down, select Audio/Visual.

Choose Sound.

Change the ** Volume** using the slider as needed.

You can have the assigned Background Sound continue to play even with other audio. On the same Background Sounds page:

Toggle on Stop Sounds When Locked to stop the Background Sounds from playing automatically whenever the device is locked.

The easiest way to turn Background Sounds on/off is through Control Center. You must first add the Hearing tile to Control Center to do so:

Click the + in the front of Hearing under More Controls.

When Background Sounds are on, you can adjust the sound and the Volume from the same location.
