There used to be a setting in Settings > Sounds that would allow the volume button Up / Down to be contextual based on the iPad orientation in either vertical or horizontal.
That seems to have disappeared completely now in iPadOS 26. Feels a bit insignificant but for people who use it it’s as jarring as having the Natural Scrolling toggle disappear. Hopefully I’m not alone and this is available somewhere else in the settings.
