Apple has just begun the testing cycle for iOS 18.2. This upcoming software update is packed with long-awaited Apple Intelligence features, including Genmoji, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, and ChatGPT integration. However, I hope Apple releases this update as soon as possible since they just re-added one of my favorite lock screen features.
as discovered by 9to5 macApple is bringing back the volume slider on the iPhone lock screen. The feature was removed in iOS 16 in 2022, but it was unclear why Apple kept it working only with AirPlay. However, this feature is only available if you’re controlling a HomePod or Apple TV.
Fortunately, it’s now making a comeback as an accessibility feature. Here’s how to make the volume slider always appear on your iPhone’s lock screen.
How to add volume slider to iPhone lock screen in iOS 18.2

- Open the Settings app and tap Accessibility
- [オーディオとビジュアル]Under the[ボリューム コントロールを常に表示]There is a switch.

You might not think this is a big deal, but I think the iPhone lock screen volume slider is more convenient for checking and adjusting music playback volume than other workarounds. .
Over the past few years, Apple has completely revamped the iPhone lock screen. However, some features feel overly complex, such as changing the wallpaper or, in this case, controlling the volume of a media player, which is very difficult these days.
