Volume buttons reversed

I have an IPad Pro 6th generation. Why are my volume buttons reversed? The top button decreases volume instead of increasing and bottom button increases volume. How do I change this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Dynamic volume controls were introduced with release of iPadOS 15.4 onwards. For reasons known only to Apple, the ability to disable this feature in favour of fixed volume controls is not available for any new models of iPad and iPad Pro that have since been launched - these models being:

  • iPad Air5
  • iPad mini6
  • fourth generation iPad Pro 11”
  • sixth generation iPad Pro 12.9”
  • iPad10


This is documented within this recently updated Apple Support document:
