What feels missing here are the music controls << || >>. They are on the lock screen before you unlock the phone. However, it happens a lot of times that I accidentally unlock the phone, even though I want to perform operations on the lock screen.
Having the music controls here is also an easy way to navigate through the playlist without having to switch to the Music app.
Is there any way to bring back these buttons, or is there a new way in iOS 10?
Best Answer
Swipe the Control Center to the side. The media controls are on a separate page indicated by the page icons at the bottom of the screen, accessible by swiping horizontally.
You are informed of this the first time you open Control Center after upgrading to iOS 10.
