Volume bar on side of screen

Hi so today I managed somehow to get the bar on the side of the screen and when I drag it across, it shows the full volume control that you can drag up and down to change the volume.


The problem is that I don’t know how I did this and would like to find out how I could make it show again just because it was super handy to have.


Thanks fam.

Hello,


The volume slider appears when you use the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone. For instance, if you press the volume up button, or volume down button the slider will appear.


Hope this was helpful! :)


Bye!

Unfortunately there is no way to have it stay permanently.


If you like the slider format of changing the volume you can open control center, and that same slider will be there to control the volume, and to control the screens brightness!


To open control center, swipe down from the top right of your screen if you have an iPhone X or higher. If you have an iPhone 8 or lower, simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen!


I hope this was helpful!
