If you’re listening to music or a podcast on your\u00a0iPhone<\/span><\/span>, 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
