Hello priscilla_Iam,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
We understand that you don’t want your customers changing the volume on your iPad. We are happy to help.
These steps may help. Please try the steps here: Adjust the volume on iPad - Apple Support
"Lock the ringer and alert volumes
Go to Settings
> Sounds, then turn off Change with Buttons.
Note: To limit the maximum headset volume, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit, then drag the slider to set the maximum volume."
Let us know if you have further questions.
Take care.
This fix doesn’t work. There is no slider in the music settings to limit the volume of headphones.
I have never posted and do not know if I’m even doing it correctly but I am in the same boat. I have a special needs little guy and he constantly turns the volume to full blast. I have tried everything to limit the volume and Apple keeps talking about this slider to limit the volume that doesn’t exist. Why is it so hard to simply have a setting to say, “this is as loud as it can go?”
I’m in the same position there is no limit volume under music and my child puts it up to max
This fix is not what they are asking for. Volume not alerts. I don't know why Apple decided to get rid of this feature. Are there actually people out in the world saying, "I'm glad we can't lock our volume anymore"? If you look at the question boards, people have been saying the opposite.
I also have an autistic child that puts the volume to max when watching videos and TV on his iPad. I’m amazed that with IOS 16.5 the option to limit the maximum volume from the speakers still has not be put back in. Why does Apple think that removing this setting would be useful?!
Came here because my autistic brother puts his ipad up to max volume when watching youtube 😂 glad to see I’m not alone! Hopefully this gets fixed soon Apple!!!!
Apple does not care about children with ASD it seems. Otherwise they would have addressed this by now. The volume limit setting is not on any of the latest ios versions.
I agree. This is making me and the family crazy. My son cranks up the volume to the max limit and I cannot find a way to limit the volume - infuriating and makes me want to look for other tablets to use
As a dad of an autistic son. I downloaded a 3rd party limit control for $4
you think apple would have volume limits as they have limits for everything else
Thanks Steveglosik, can you share with us what that app is?
I would also like to know what is that app? I have tried couple of apps, but the problem is that you can just quit them and then there is no limit anymore.
Any way you could share the name of or link to that app? I found one that works well but only for 80 minutes at a time. So i have to constantly reset the timer on them. I have 3 kids with ASD.
App name is Volume limit control

Me and the family are going through this right now. My 3 yr old son got diagnosed last week but I always suspected he had ASD. He constantly puts the volume all the way up. This is so disappointing that an Apple product does not have a way to limit the volume.
