If you're listening to music or a podcast and want to change the volume without unlocking your iPhone, then you probably press the buttons on the side of your phone. Those buttons can increase or decrease your volume a set amount, but they could leave you choosing between a volume that is slightly too loud or a bit too quiet. If you keep your iPhone up to date with the latest iOS releases, you can bring the volume bar back to your device's Lock Screen, giving you more precise control over your iPhone's volume without unlocking your device.
