User level: Level 1 (12 points)Audio scrubber doesn't always appear on Lock Screen when playing music. It only appears after restarting the phone, which is not something I want to do every time and would prefer a quick fix.
Some people want to disable the scrubber, but I actually use it often and want it there every time.

Was your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.
I have been updating my devices ever since I bought my first device in 2009. iPhone 3Gs, 4S, 5, 6, SE (1st Gen), 7, 8, and iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13, 13 pro and iPhone 17, Macbook Air 2019, MacBook Pro 16" Nov 2024.
I never had any issues with any iOS, iPadOS, or macOS updates to date.
I would personally recommend everyone update their devices instead of listening to rumors from people who may not have kept their devices free from any spurious software.
iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken.
iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
This seems purely coincidental, so please check the settings on your device.
See what each update does: About iOS 27 Updates, About iOS 26 Updates, About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

Expressing or conveying auditory experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying sound issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed from a YouTube link. Factors such as your iPhone's specific sound settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.
