Camera button on lock screen wont go away?

On my lock screen, beside the slide to unlock, on the right a camera icon is beside it and ive tried pressing the home btton twice. Anyone know how to fix that?

Starting with iOS 5.1, you don't need to press any buttons for it to appear, but you also can't make it disappear. As far as I know, the only way to remove it is to turn on Restrictions and restrict the camera. It removes the slider, but you won't be able to use the Camera app or FaceTime.

  • Ipod Touch ios 5 camera button on lock screen wont open camera

    I recently upgraded my Ipod Touch Gen4 to ios 5.1.  All went well, except when I push the camera button on the lock screen, it tries to open the camera but then changes back to the lock screen.
    Its like the lock screen moves upward to show the camera app underneath, but then closes.
    Ive done a reset and restore but no luck. 
    Any help please??

    No problem.  Glad to have helped.

  • Camera button on lock screen locked

    My phone updated yesterday and ever since then the camera button the lock screen won't go away. Unlike everyone else I have no problem getting the camera to appear - I can't get it to go away! There are two lines above and below the camera button and it won't go away no matter what. Any help would be appreciated!

    It cannot be deleted. It is there. That is the way it is. You can provide feedback to Apple here www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html if this is something you would like to suggest they change.

  • No camera button on lock screen

    I downloaded IOS5.  There is no camera button on the lock screen. Ok I found out you have to double click the home button for it to come up.

    Nevermind I just found the answer in another thread. You have to double tap the home button on the lock screen and it comes up.

  • The spinning color wheel on my lock screen wont go away

    When I went to go open my computer the color wheel came up and now will not go away.

    Turn your machine off by holding down the power button for 10+ seconds.
    Boot whilst holding down the Shift key. This will let you boot (hopefully) in Safe mode, which will be slow to boot and feel sluggish in performance.
    If you can't boot into Safe mode, call back and let us know which model MacBook Pro you have and which version of OS X you're running.

  • Camera button on lock screen not working

  • Minor camera issue on lock screen in iOS 8

    I have an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.0.2 and fortunately have not had the problem of the camera not working. What I've noticed is that when I open the camera from the lock screen, take a picture, then lock the iPhone back up, the camera app will still be open as if that were the last app I was using before I needed to take a picture. Before the update, I might be composing an email when I want to take a picture.  I could turn off the iphone, take a picture from the lock screen, press the power button, press either button and slide to unlock the phone and my email would come up as if I hadn't called on another app in the meantime. I loved this! As with most other changes, I can adapt, but I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. The camera-from-lock-screen trick was kind of a go-to move of mine. It dawns on me that maybe my the camera's previous behavior was the aberration. If so, I would argue that it should be the norm.
    Thanks,
    TIna

    I just tried this and can confirm your observation.

  • Why I can't go to my camera from the lock screen?

    I just downloaded the iOS5 and i can go to my camera from the lock screen like it is said in the tutorials! What can I do?

    press your home button twice when the lock screen comes up and the camera icon will show up.  I thought it was supposed to show up automatically after the update, but it doesn't on my phone.  I have the iPhone 4.

    No, you will have to double press each time on the lock screen to bring back the camera button.

  • Why are my photos smaller when I access the camera from the lock screen?

    I have an iPhone 4s using IOS 5 and I have noticed that when I access my iPhone camera from the lock screen (by double clicking the home button) that the photos I take are only 640 x 480 pixels, but when I unlock the phone and click the Camera icon the photos 3264 x 2448 pixels.  I would pefer to always shoot the larger sized photos.  Is there a way to change this?

  • Why doesn't the camera work the lock screen sometimes?

    When I launch the camera app from the lock screen on my iphone (4), one of three things happens.
    Sometimes the preview is really small, like this

    http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac1/drtoffeejr/IMG_2359.png
    this doesn't affect the actual size of the pictures however. Meaning if I take a picture while it's like that then swipe over to look at it, it is the normal size. I have also found that this part can be fixed by switching the the front camera then back to the rear camera.
    The second thing that could happen is that the animation of the lens opening will freeze while it's still closed, meaning I can't see anything besides the closed lens picture.
    The third thing that could happen is that it works fine.
    These problems only seem to happen when I launch the camera from the lock screen as I have never had anything like that happen when I use the app after unlocking my phone.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    That is a new one. I haven't seen that before. You might have a hardware problem. Also may want to try to restore the phone and see if that fixes the problem. Also have you restarted the phone by holding the home button and the sleep/wake switch ignoring the swipe to power off message and then powering up the phone again?
