Many iPhone users do not know that Apple offers a hidden volume slider on the Lock Screen. The latest iPhone update has introduced a volume slider for iPhone users, which will allow users to control the sound from the lock screen only.
The feature lets you change the volume while listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks without unlocking your phone. It gives better control than the side buttons and makes listening more convenient.
The turning on process is pretty simple. For that, users should go to Settings and tap Accessibility. Next, they should click on Hearing, and from there tap on Audio & Visual. Once scroll down, they will see ‘Find Always Show Volume Control.’ Toggle it ‘On.’ Once you’re done, lock your phone’s screen and check whether the feature is working. It is a small feature, but it can make everyday use much easier.
The volume slider is just one of several useful accessibility tools on the iPhone. There’s Background Sounds, which can play relaxing audio such as rain, ocean, or white noise to help you focus or unwind.
There is also Live Speech, which speaks out words that you type. Vocal Shortcuts let you perform actions by saying a custom phrase. Another useful feature is Assistive Access, which makes the iPhone easier to use with larger icons and a simpler layout.

If you listen to audio all day long, the hidden volume slider is a real plus. Whether you’re using Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, or a podcast, you can adjust the volume without opening the phone or pressing the side buttons repeatedly.
It may not be the biggest iPhone feature, but it makes listening smoother. Quick access to volume controls means fewer interruptions and a better experience, whether you are working, traveling, or relaxing at home.
