On your iPhone's lock screen, you can easily access the camera without unlocking your device 📸. While convenient, it can sometimes lead to accidental camera activation.
Here's how to launch the camera from the lock screen and, more importantly, how to prevent accidental activation.
Simply Hold down the camera icon on the bottom right corner of your lock screen to open the camera.
You can also swipe left on the lock screen to launch the camera.
While having the camera readily accessible is convenient, accidental activations can be frustrating. In iOS 17, it wasn't possible to hide the camera from the lock screen.
However, with iOS 18, you can now hide the camera icon or even replace it with another function!
Check out the linked article for detailed instructions on how to edit the function icons on the lock screen.
If you want to keep the camera on your lock screen but prevent accidental activation, here are two settings you can adjust to reduce the chances of unintentionally turning on the camera.
This feature wakes the screen when you lift your phone. Turning it off will reduce accidental camera activations when you're handling your phone.
This feature wakes the screen with a tap or swipe. Disabling it will ensure the screen only wakes when you press the power button.
While these changes can help reduce accidental activations, you might feel less convenient. Consider how frequently the camera is unintentionally turned on before deciding whether to adjust these settings.
