[iOS] Adjust the volume

[Sumiasty]

in one of the last updates the way of adjusting the volume of another device was changed. for example, I use my phone to adjust the volume of the streamer. previously, even on a locked phone, it was enough to press the volume button and the streamer would react accordingly.
recently adjustments using a displayed bar were added. the previous method was the simplest for the user that it could be. now we have a few additional actions:
1. unlocking the phone
2. entering the spotify application
3. pressing the volume button which does not adjust the volume, but shows a sliding bar
4. sliding the bar or clicking on the volume icons.

I think that the previous way of adjusting the volume should either come back because it was the fastest, most convenient, or at least in the settings there should be an option to choose how I would like to adjust the volume.

Please give up back the ability to control the volume from our volume buttons, this is absolutely horrendous

This is so painful I want to throw my phone across the room every time I have to change volume😢

I have no words for how annoying this is. Seriously considering moving to another streaming service 🤯

Can't believe this simple change still hasn't been addressed despite the obvious user fury. It makes Spotify unusable when home (which is most of the time)🥲😭

This is awful.  Also, I'm not even getting the notification from Spotify when I'm trying to change the volume by pressing on the physical volume button.  I have notifications enabled.  How do I get the volume notification to pop up?

@mtollhouse - Same here. For some reason the option to change volume doesn't even come up anymore.

What an incredible annoying example of backwards evolution of a very basic usage function in the user experience design. I guess it's because those big tech companies are more fighting each other then helping. And of course on the expense of us, the loyal paying customers. Well, if this doesn't change I will finally start looking for alternatives and make sure it's a platform that respects musicians as well. Good luck fixing this Spotify.
