I see that there's been a lot of questions about disabling the widgets and camera (left / right swipe) on the lock screen.

Here's an article (blog post) explaning how to disable the camera swipe.

How to disable the left swipe camera launch function? Is there a way to disable the swipe left camera activation function from the lock screen, without disabling the press & hold camera button? Most of the time when I put my phone in my pocket and while touching the screen unintentionally, my fingers would swipe the screen left, the camera would activate and stay on. Can we disable just the swipe function only without having to go into screen time and disable the camera all together? Is there a way to control these setting separately?

Swipe left from Lock screen / iPhone 12 I just got an iPhone 12. It seems that when I am the Lock Screen (but after unlock) and I swipe left, it opens something called quick take video. How do I disable that function? I do not want a swipe left to start a video. I would like to change what swipe left does there or at least stop it from opening that app. Thank you.

Hope you know this --> When you use Screen Time Restrictions to turn off camera access from your iPhone lock screen, the camera app is also removed from the home screen. So you will no longer be able to use the app at all until you remove the Screen Tome restriction, and if you do so it will gain activate the swipe.

I did not, but I do now. It's really bad that there's no option for deactivating the camera swipe on the lock screen.
