Disable swipe camera when locked

While helpful... it would be even more helpful if you could disable the camera completely when screen is locked.
You may not be able to view previous pictures.. but someone can take a bunch of unwanted pictures that you will end up having to go through and delete!

I just tested this also. Yes, while you can get at the camera from a locked device, you can't actually see any pictures that were previously taken. You NORMALLY see 'recently taken photos' by clicking a square on the bottom left corner, but that does NOT work when you access the camera from the lock screen -- that works only when you access the camera normally. And if you click All Photos, you will get prompted for your passcode. Clicking the home button from here takes you to the lockscreen and not the homescreen, so no concerns there either (but note that clicking the home button my fingerprint-unlock your device, so don't be thrown off by that).

Can you re-confirm that, when the device is locked and you swipe right to use the camera, that you CAN access previously taken photos? Because I cannot (iPhone 7, iOS 10.2).

That was helpful.

That's actually NOT how your iPhone works. You are able to take a picture, but no person can get to the information on your iPhone unless they have your unlock passcode or a fingerprint programmed in.

If you have a passcode (or touchID) set up, your photos and other apps and data are NOT exposed by swiping to open the camera from the lock screen. Only the camera app and any photo taken with it at the time are available (not previously stored photos).

If you are seeing otherwise you have either not set up security properly, or you are inadvertently using TouchID to unlock the phone.

No, you cannot just disable the camera access at the lock screen. In restrictions, you can disable use of the camera, period. But then it is unaccessable at all, even when unlocked.

From the lock screen, if you immediately swipe right to left to bring up the camera, all you can see without unlocking it is whatever the camera is pointed at. The last picture actually taken is not shown at all unless you have taken one without re-locking the screen.

Wrong!
