iOS 18.2 Brings Back Volume Slider to iPhone Lock Screen After Two Years
In iOS 18.2, Apple has re-added an old and very much liked feature. It has been decided to bring back the volume slider on the lock screen, which was suddenly removed in iOS 16 two years ago.
What is this feature?
With the release of iOS 16, Apple removed the volume slider on the lock screen without giving any reason. This feature was part of the media player interface, allowing users to easily adjust the volume on the lock screen itself.
However, in iOS 18.2, Apple has made it available again as an option. Now users can take advantage of this feature, but for this they have to go to the settings and turn it on manually.
How to Enable It?
If you have updated your iPhone to iOS 18.2, then you can follow the steps given below to activate this feature:
- Settings ➝ Accessibility ➝ Audio and Visual
- Here you will find the option of “Always Show Volume Control”.
- After turning it on, you will be able to adjust the volume on the lock screen without unlocking the phone and without using the physical volume button.
This feature is very helpful for those users who want to avoid unlocking the phone repeatedly or using the physical button. There was a lot of dissatisfaction among the users when it was removed in iOS 16. Now the return of this feature will give a lot of relief to the users.
This update in iOS 18.2 is a great example of small but useful changes. If you are an iPhone user, this new feature will help improve your experience.
