It seems that it is easy to accidentally engage these icons just by grasping the phone. How do I remove the flashlight and camera icons from the iPhone XR lock screen?
iPhone XR, iOS 12
You can’t remove those icons.
Settings/Control Center - Customize
Well, that explains why I can't figure out how to remove them.
Ok, let's take a different approach. Is there a way to disable the iPhone XR from waking when you tap the screen? Make it so that only the Power button wakes the phone?
Oh, nice setting.. never knew about that one. Unfortunately that won't work.. it still wakes by tapping the screen. I'm now trying to prevent tap to wake.. since I can't remove the flashlight and camera icons from the lock screen.
Ok, found a way to prevent tap to wake on the iPhone XR. It's called, surprisingly, "Tap to Wake" and it's in General > Accessibility.. instead of in Display & Brightness (where it should be, since it deals with Display).
Dear Apple,
Please stop moving the settings around. Find a common sense place to put it and leave it there.. this will avoid confusing your customers when they go to a setting and find it has been moved.
I've tried that, it removes the icons from the control center but not from the bottom of the lock screen.
Settings/Display & Brightness - Raise to Wake
I'm sure you know that Apple does not read messages in this forum for suggestions. Use https://apple.com/feedback.
Yeah, I know. Thank you.
I know that you know from other conversations. I just pointed that out for other readers of the thread.
What you can do is change the hold duration. Neither of those buttons respond to touch alone. You must hold them for a second. You can make that hold time longer in Settings/General/Accessibility - Haptic Touch.
