This is how to disable the volume buttons

This isn’t a question but I did see a few questions asking how to disable the volume buttons when they are broken and turning up or down by themselves. All the replies said it is not possible to disable the buttons and you should just get your iPad fixed but I worked out a way. You can do it using guided access, it allows you to lock certain buttons on your iPad when using an app. It can lock the volume button so that the volume will not change until you turn off guided access. So there u go hopefully this helps, read into guided access and you will find a way to temporarily disable the volume buttons!

Heres the link to a page with info on how to use it: Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Also if the triple click doesn’t work, you need to go to accessibility shortcut on the accessibility page on settings and slide guided access to the top of the list.
