You should add a tap gesture on your UISlider.

Exemple :

 UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(sliderTapped:)];
    [_slider addGestureRecognizer:tapGestureRecognizer];

In sliderTapped you can get the location and update the value of the slider :

- (void)sliderTapped:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
    CGPoint  pointTaped = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:gestureRecognizer.view];
    CGPoint positionOfSlider = _slider.frame.origin;
    float widthOfSlider = _slider.frame.size.width;
    float newValue = ((pointTaped.x - positionOfSlider.x) * _slider.maximumValue) / widthOfSlider;
    [_slider setValue:newValue];
}
