When I open my camera from the lock screen, I have full access to my photo library. This means that anyone (e.g. someone who has stolen the phone) can open my camera and have full access to my photos. I often use my camera to copy important and confidential information.
Is there a way to stop this?

No you can not access the photo library without unlocking your device and if you have face id enabled and you look at your phone it will unlock it.
You can test this for yourself. Bend the phone at an angle, open the camera app, take a pic, and without staring at the phone screen, see if you can access all photos, you should get a pop for face id or passcode.

Thank you, my mind is at rest.
It is still a slight problem when I take a picture and share it with someone that they can then scroll through all my pictures. Not much to hide but I'm very security conscious. But knowing that no one can just pick up my phone and browse is a great relief.
No they can't. Like I said a long as you don't unlock it no one can look at your library.
I don't know what you mean share, if you're that type lip about security, then don't share anything with anybody.
What I mean is if I take a picture of my girlfriend, for example, she wants to see it right away. It would be better if she could only see the pictures I'd just taken. I guess I can just disable Face Recognition for a while.
Well if you have to hide pictures from your girlfriend, then there is a bigger issue, than just photos.
You solved my issue, thank you
