If you’re listening to music or a podcast on your iPhone, the volume buttons on the side of your device let you adjust the volume without unlocking your device. Those buttons make it easy to increase or decrease your volume a set amount, but they could leave you choosing between a volume that is a bit too loud or slightly too quiet.
The good news is that you can bring the volume bar back to your device’s lock screen, giving you more precise control over your iPhone’s volume without unlocking your device.
Apple removed the volume bar from the lock screen when the company released iOS 16 in 2022. But with iOS 18.2 in 2024, you could bring the volume bar back to your iPhone’s lock screen.
If you like using the volume bar, you can bring it back to your lock screen. Here’s how to do it in a few easy steps.
How to get the volume bar on your iPhone
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Accessibility.
3. Tap Audio & Visual under Hearing.
4. Tap the toggle next to Always Show Volume Control.
Next time you’re listening to music or a podcast at the gym or on the bus, you can adjust the volume with the slider on your lock screen.
