In iOS 15 how do you lock the volume on an iPad (not headphone, but actual volume)

Apple does this each and every year. They remove that feature once a new IOS is launched. If you have an issue, they will not talk to you if you don't have the latest update. Once you update it, there is no way going back so each year we have to wait for several updates before they return that imperative feature especially if you have kids with special needs.

Apple is just trying to make sure we stay fit and keep jumping through their hoops. Yay!

You are correct in that Apple will not necessarily reply to a feedback submission - however, it is our understanding that all feedback is logged and passed to appropriate teams within Apple.

As for posting here, while the Apple Support Communities provide a platform through which individual contributors can both discuss issues and offer technical assistance to others, Apple’s representation is limited to (a) the Moderation Team who ensure that contributors comply with the Terms of Use that govern participation within ASC - and (b) the Community Specialists whose role is to provide a response to posts that have been unanswered by other participants.

Otherwise, Apple neither monitor nor participate in any forum discussions that are posted here.

Thanks LotusPilot, good to know.

If nothing else then, this particular feed will direct people to the link for requesting features and as previously mentioned, remind others that they’re not alone in their frustrations.

Absolutely so, but experience demonstrates that few will bother to read earlier posts within a conversation - often preferring to vent frustration and/or make demands for immediate change.

Same issue here. We also don’t have an option to revert back to iOS 14. We really need the volume restriction.

juniordawson thanks for commenting. I feel your pain. It's quite maddening. It would seem like a straightforward enough software fix - but I'm not a developer so who knows...

Thanks LotusPilot for your post. Sadly it's not helpful for my situation. I have already posted on the feedback page but appreciate the link - hopefully others will follow.
