Why is there sometimes an envelope icon on my lock screen?

I have an iPhone 6. On the lock screen, on the bottom left hand corner, is, from time to time, an envelope icon. What is this for?

    Probably because you haven't double-clicked the home button.

  • Upgrading to IOS 5, no camera icon on the lock screen why?

    put your finger on the photo frame icon and slide up. 
    i.e. the camera opens in a "reverse notifications" style in ios 5.1

  • Has anyone else noticed an issue with the new mail icon on the lock screen?

    After updating to iOS 8 there is a new mail icon on the lock screen. When I slide it up I get this message:
    "Failed to continue activity- the connection to your other device may have been interrupted- Please try again"
    After trying again and again I get the same message and I do not have the "other device" that it mentions. I'm not sure what is going on, does anyone have any ideas?

    Nope, have not seen this issue or have this issue myself.  Try going into Settings and toggling off that email account, toggle back on and then send a test email to yourself.  If it still persists, delete the email account and re-add and try again.

  • Can we turn off the icon on the lock screen that opens and displays all the photos on your ipad

    I finally noticed the little icon on the lock screen that you can puch and it immediately opens a slide shoew of all the phoes in your library.   I think this is a bit of a security issue -- I dont' wan people being able to look at my pictures wtithout authorizatino from me.   This supasses my permission and lets anyone look at them while the IPAD is still "locked"
    Cn w turn off/disable this icon selection somehow?   I've notobeeen abe to find anything  yet.
    Help!

    There is no security issue. If your iPad is protected by a passcode (which it should be if you don't want anyone to be able to look at stuff) you can turn the slideshow icon off.

  • Usability of Camera Icon at the Lock Screen

    My question is on the usability of the Camera Icon on the Lock Screen.I have seen difference in the behaviour of basic lock functionality in iphone 4 with ios 5.01. & ios 5.1. Below mentioned are the details :
    Case 1-> User is using Iphone 4 with ios 5.0.1
    Pre-conditions -> Phone is locked with Passcode Lock as Off.
    1) User double clicks on the Home button.
    2) Camera Icon is displayed on the bottom right hand side adjacent to the unlock slider.
    3) User clicks on the Camera Icon.
    4) Camera Application Opens.
    5) The square box on the bottom left hand side of the screen is displayed as black.This square box normally displays the last clicked snap.
    6) User clicks on the Square box.
    Result -> Iphone displays a page with a message saying " Your iPhone is locked.Unlock your iPhone to see all your photos and videos." A blue color camera icon is also present on the bottom left hand side.
    This functionality seems to work as per the expectations.
    Case 2 -> User is using Iphone 4 with ios 5.1
    Pre-conditions -> Phone is locked with Passcode Lock as Off.
    1) User clicks on the Home button.
    2) Camera Icon is displayed on the bottom right hand side adjacent to the unlock slider.
    3) User slides the camera icon to the top.
    4) Camera Application Opens.
    5) The square box on the bottom left hand side of the screen is present and is currrently displaying the last clicked snap.
    6) User clicks on the Square box.
    Result -> Iphone displays all the photos and videos to the User.
    This functionality is providing the user access to all the photos and videos without unlocking the iPhone.
    However, i also tried the Case2 with Passcode Lock as ON.With this setting, Iphone is behaving as Case1 i.e. User is not able to view the Photos and videos in Locked Mode.
    As a user i would like the iPhone to behave in a sycnhronized way no matter how the user is locking the iPhone.
    Kindly try to replicate this behaviour and provide your comments/suggestions.

    How do you get rid of the camera feature on the lock screen?
    You don't, unless you disable the Camera app entirely.
    It's such a nuisance...
    Really, how so?
    I don't want people going into my photos or my iphone!!
    If you add a passcode to your iPhone as you should, then there's no way they can see anything in your iPhone.  Of course, if the passcode is set but not enough time has elapsed that's different -- but that has nothing to do with this icon.

  • Where is the camera icon on the lock screen after downloading ios5

    I completed the download of ios5 and I believe there is supposed to be a small camera icon on the lock screen so I can take a photo without having to unlock the phone.  I did see it right after the download but it has since disappeared.  Anyone know how to get it back?
    Thanks!!

    Your welcome! Hey, I didn't know how to access it at first, also!

  • How do I turn off the new camera icon on the lock screen?

    For me, I don't like the camera icon on the lock screen.  I don't want someone picking up my phone and taking pics without my permission.  How do I turn it off and remove the icon from the lock screen???

    You can't unless you disable the camera app completely in restrictions. However, 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.
    I appreciate that doesn't prevent someone from taking photos from your iPhone without permission.

    If you swipe down from that bar, it will pull up your notification center.

  • Why is there a safari icon on my lock screen sometimes?

    Why does the Safari icon appear on my and my wife's lock screen in the lower left corner sometimes (iPhones 5s and iPad Air)?  When my wife sees it on her phone, she is able to click it and see my Safari activity.

    To turn off Handoff on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps, and turn off Handoff.
    On your Mac, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the Allow Handoff setting.

  • Why do the circles around the numbers on the lock screen only sometimes light up?

    I don't know why, but sometimes, they light up as white circles, but other times, only the ones near to the centre of the wallpaper light up, and only the parts nearest to the centre of the screen. That'll be to do with the wallpaper itself, as it's got a bit of a white bit in the centre and black everywhere else - but why do the circles only sometimes light up? And is there a way to make it so the circles are always lit up?

    Hello DanteAllege,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the keys on the passcode lock screen dont light up consistently.
    I want to recommend a couple of things here. First close all the apps that are running on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    Then restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Take care,
    Sterling
