On iPhone models with Touch ID, you can use the sensor in the Home button to read your
fingerprint, instead of using your passcode or Apple ID password to unlock iPhone or make
purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. See Touch ID on page 44. If you have
iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you can also use the Touch ID sensor for authentication when using
Apple Pay to make a purchase in a store or from within an app. See Touch ID on page 44 and
Apple Pay on page 132.
You can also use the Home button to turn accessibility features on or off. See Accessibility
Shortcut on page 151.

Lock the ringer and alert volumes. Go to Settings > Sounds, then turn off Change with Buttons.
To limit the volume for music and videos, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
Note: In some European Union (EU) countries, iPhone may warn that you’re setting the volume
above the EU recommended level for hearing safety. To increase the volume beyond this level,
you may need to briefly release the volume control. To limit the maximum headset volume
to this level, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit, then turn on EU Volume Limit. To prevent
changes to the volume limit, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Use Control Center to adjust the volume. When iPhone is locked or when you’re using another
app, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center.
You can also use either volume button to take a picture or record a video. See Take photos and
