Can i disable respond with text?

The option to disable reply with text is not where you expect it to be

Settings > Passcode > Allow Access When Locked: Reply with Message

Set that to disabled, you should be all set

Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature here:

The thing about a passcode is that, like a back up, you don't generally know in advance when you might need it. Hopefully you don't think backing up is equally pointless and time consuming.

Do you have a technical support questions for us, your fellow users? If you'd like Apple to know your feelings, use the Feedback page:

In iOS9 it is

Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Allow Access When Locked: Reply with Message

And if you don't have a passcode set, you can't change any of the settings! You must set a passcode, change the setting, and then "Turn Passcode Off" - which apparently deletes it again.

Thank you!!

Seriously, Thanks!!

This is definitely one of the most annoying default settings ever.

Thank God there is actually an option to turn it off... a hard to find option, but at least its there.
