Dynamic volume controls were introduced with release of iPadOS 15.4 onwards. For existing iPad models, this feature could be enabled or disabled in iPad settings.


For reasons known only to Apple, the ability to disable the dynamic 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:

Use the Home, side, and other buttons on your iPad - Apple Support
