How to disable camera on the lock screen?

Good morning, everyone -

I did look through quite a few threads and wasn't able to spot this subject. Wondering if anyone knows how to disable this feature?

Sidenote: What was Apple thinking with this feature? I'm not so lazy that I need a feature to help me avoid a couple of taps before being able to access the camera. Having it available on the lock screen defeats security. I prefer security.

A tip on how to undo this feature would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

There is no way to disable this feature without disabling the camera in restrictions.

As a workaround for security you can place a passcode onto the iPhone will allow access to the camera app only from the locked.

If you set the Require Passcode to Immediately in Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Require Passcode>Immediately the iPhone cannot be accessed even if the camera was opened accidentally and subsequently neither could your photos as a message would appear stating Your iPhone is Locked.

Not at all. It just requires that one has a spine.
