Instructions for limiting iPhone speaker volume

How to enable iPhone speaker volume limit

Volume limiting won't affect speaker volume for phone calls, FaceTime calls, emergency calls, alarms, ringtones, system sounds, or Find My Sounds. It will only limit the volume level for media played through the iPhone speaker.
