If you have an iOS device, I’m sure you’re familiar with the volume buttons location on its side. They are usually setup to control the ringer and alert volume of your device. While that can certainly be useful, these buttons can actually be reassigned to serve a different purpose. The volume buttons on your device can also be used to control the overall audio volume within iOS.
To change your volume button functionality, watch the video or follow the steps below:
Step 1: Go into the Settings app on your device and tap on Sounds. On the iPad, this section is located within General settings.
Step 2: Under “Ringer and Alerts,” turn off “Change with Buttons.”
Step 3: Exit out of the Settings app and go back to the home screen.
Next time you use the volume buttons on your device, they will now control the overall audio level of iOS instead of your ringer and alerts.
Now that you’ve learned how to give your volume buttons a new purpose, if there’s something else you’d like to see on iOS Advice, please let us know.
