I update my phone(Iphone 12) to IOS16, and when i listen music, on lock screen i cant see volume control, but i still can turn on the next song (check the screen below). Maybe someone have the same problem, or that's a bug. That problem is observed in YouTube Music and Apple Music.
iPhone 12, iOS 16
I know. Apple seems to reverse engineer the wheel and make it a cube all the time. My notifications are no longer listed at the top and instead at the bottom. Makes 0 sense. Then the volume slider is gone in any music app and the album cover overtakes the whole screen when locked. Craziness. I should have never left iOS 15.7.1. I regret it. Apple will not listen to us and bring it back any of these features that were there for years!

Thank you for the solution on this.
My 2 cents. This is a terrible adaptation of the media widget. More often than not I accidentally slide this bar and change my position on my audiobook/Podcast, music, and etc. This is extremely frustrating and I really don’t understand their switch to this new player. Hopefully they will revert back to the old player widget but I really doubt apple listens to the few people who have an issues.
In other words, they took it away. This was a very bad move. Listening to music and audiobooks is no longer convenient. It now takes both hands and muscular control to change the volume temporarily, so instead I just stop the book. Please put this back. It was very shortsighted to remove it for absolutely no reason. No reason at all.
Hi.
Same here. Tapping the Lock Screen Apple Music widget will open the main AP App, however, the volume slider should be there no matter.
Apple chose to leave this feature out. Huh 🤔
When is Apple going to put the volume control back in this widget?
Was any user testing done for this “feature”? I mean with real users.
Yes, same here which is very unfortunate since I’m not able to access the volume buttons when the phone is in the car clamp. I now have to login my phone and use the slider in the music app. I’d rather have a volume slider than the slider for skipping which can also be done with the double arrows.

Apple does listen to feedback, just not here. You can let them know your thoughts here:
Hi lion-king-hakuna-matata.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. What you are experiencing with Music controls from the Lock Screen, is normal behavior in iOS 16. You can use the volume buttons to raise or lower the volume or tap on the Widget to open the Music app and use the volume slider within the app.
Please feel free to submit some feedback here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Cheers.
music widget on lock screen without a volume control
