Apple removed the volume bar from the iPhone's lock screen a few years ago but you can bring it back now in a few easy steps.

It’s a capacitive touch controller that plugs into a USB Type-C port and lets you control the volume on any Windows, Mac, or Linux laptop by sliding your finger across the surface.

Prior to 2022, the volume slider was a familiar presence on the Lock Screen whenever media was playing. When Apple released iOS 16, however, it removed the control without explaining the reason.

iOS 18.2 lets you add a volume control slider to the lock screen. This setting is disabled by default, so here's how to turn it on.

Apple is considering merging the Action and Volume buttons on the iPhone 17 Pro, and the rumor isn't that crazy.
