The new upgrade 12.01 removed sound control

the recent upgrade has taken away the control of sound through the double click of the home button. I have a broken volume button so used this function which Apple chose to remove without advice. They Tell you the changes but forget to tell the negatives. So is there any alternative way to use volume control. Can i remove the recent upgrade? Any help please

iPad Mini Wi-Fi, iOS 12.0.1

iOS12 has changed some of the swipe gestures.


For iOS11, swipe-up from the bottom of the screen - or tapping the home button twice - reveals the Task Switcher AND the Control Centre that includes a Volume Control.


iOS12, swipe-up from the bottom of the screen (with a brief pause at the top of the upward swipe) - or tapping the home button twice - still reveals the Task Switcher. To access the Control Centre, you need to swipe-down from the top right of the screen.


The revised gestures are explained fully in the Apple iOS12 User Guide - available from the Apple Book Store or here:
