The bar was taken out in 2022, but there are a few simple ways to get it back.
You most likely touch the buttons on the side of your iPhone if you want to adjust the volume while listening to music or a podcast without unlocking it. You may have to choose between a level that is a little too loud or a little too quiet, even if the buttons only change the volume by a predetermined amount. You may adjust the volume more accurately without unlocking your iPhone by bringing the volume bar back to your lock screen if you maintain your device updated with the most recent iOS updates.
You were able to restore the volume bar to the Lock Screen of your iPhone when Apple updated iOS 18.2 in December. This follows Apple’s 2022 release of iOS 16, which eliminated the volume bar on your lock screen. There are four simple ways to reinstate the volume bar to your lock screen if you like using it.
You may restore the volume bar to your lock screen by following these steps.
