The volume control bar keeps appearing and quickly disappearing at the top of my iPad screen. It appears for only a very brief time. It’s annoying. How can I stop it?
iPad Pro (5th generation)
Hello Pderuyter,
Let's use the steps below to make sure that your iPad is up to date:
1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.
You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If your iPad is all up to date, let's restart:
1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.
Updating and restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.
Should that still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.
Take care.
Annoying volume control appears repeatedly & disappears at top of iPad…why?
