Camera problem from the locked screen

I am using an iphone 5s and having problems with the camera from the locked screen.
When i flick up the locked screen to use the camera, i am given a blank screen. When i press the home button the camera quickly appears before returning me to the locked screen.
If i want to use the camera i have to unlock the phone.

Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the camera will now come up with you slide up.
Cheers,
GB

  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

  • Why doesn't my camera open from the lock screen after I updated to 5.1

    you have to slide the camera app up.  then the camera will open.

  • I recently updated my iPhone's 3GS software to iOS 5.1...Is there any way to remove the camera button from the lock screen?

    Heeelp?!...

    I did just that, good idea.
    I stated in my feedback message that I feel it disturbing that someone handling my iPhone, but not having the passcode, can take photos with my phone.  Photos of --<sigh>--Lord knows what.  While the phone's usually in my pocket or otherwise close to my person, that's not always the case. 
    Now, I'll grant that it is nice to have the option to allow someone to take a photo with my phone without also giving them access to everything else.  In fact, that's a very nice little tidbit.  I'd just like to have the flexibility to prevent people from taking pics with my phone, should they happen to have it in hand and feel the urge to add to my camera roll even without my approval.  There's real opportunity for mischief in this.

  • 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?

    Are you travelling towards the object you are photographing at a spectacular speed?  If so, you may be experiencing the doppler effect!

  • Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

    I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

    I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

  • Sliding notifications from the lock screen in iOS 7

    Hi,
    I'm having problem sliding notifications from the lock screen on my iPhone 5S/iPad Mini. This is more to do with iOS 7 than iPhone/iPad. When I try to slide it, it takes me to the unlock screen. Please see attached screenshot for details. Hope Apple could fix this soon. Also, I would love to know if anyone else faced this issue.
    Regards,

    No.

  • I'm experiencing extremely slow response when attempting to open the control center from the lock screen, any suggestions?

    When trying to access the control center from the lock screen, it takes anywhere from 2 to MANY swipes to get a response.  Never opens on the first try.

    I'm not having the same problem, but there is a feature in the OS that attempts to discern from swipes to unlock and swipes to open control center. This is what you may be experiencing.

  • Cannot take a picture from the lock screen

    Hey,
    I cannot take pictures from the lock screen. I push the home button, i see the icon of the camera but when i try to push it the whole screen bumps slightly up and then settles back down without opening the camera app.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening?
    THX

    Press down on the Camera icon, and then drag the screen up. iOS 5.1 introduced the slide camera rather than the button to press on. I believe people were complaining about accidentally pressing it, not sure though.
    Bit I digress; press and slide
