iOS 18.2 will arrive in December with the most important Apple Intelligence features, such as integration with ChatGPT, Genmoji, Image Playground and Visual Intelligence. In addition, it will include small new features, such as the option to add a Slider volume control on iPhone lock screen player. Currently, when you are playing music, the player that appears on the lock screen does not include a volume controlwhich means that it is not possible to adjust it from there. You can only do it through the volume buttons on the left side of the device or from the Control Centerwhich could be blocked if you have authentication enabled.
How to Add Volume Control to iPhone Lock Screen Player
Next, We explain how to add volume control to the iPhone lock screen player. This is an Accessibility feature, so it is not activated by default. To activate it, follow these steps:
- Open the app Settings on your iPhone.
- Go to the section Accessibility.
- Within Accessibility, select the option Audio and visuals.
- Activate the option Always show volume control.

And that’s it. When playing content with the iPhone locked, you will see the volume slider that existed before iOS 17. Although this change is not activated by default, it is understandable, since many people have become accustomed to the new method of using only the buttons.
However, this change will be well received by users like me, who missed it. While it’s not as precise as using the buttons, it is a faster way to adjust the volume. Yes indeed, if you use AirPlay frequently, you may not have noticed the absencesince this option has always been available.
This change is not the only one Apple has made in recent years regarding the volume slider. Some versions of IOS ago, changed the home screen control interface to be able to control it from the volume buttons or by swiping up or down.
