Responding to a message from the lock screen

Hello,
I just upgraded to an iphone 6 plus and I wanted to use the feature that allows me to respond to messages on the lock screen. Right now it is not allowing me to do so. I upgraded from the iphone 4 and used the data that I had on it to restore my 6 plus. Is this the

Great support as always Apple.

Is there a Siri command to get to the home screen from the lock screen?

Here is the situation - an elderly friend of mine (94 years old) was in a panic because there were text messages on the lock screen and try as he might he could not "slide to open."
He has no passcode set.
Anyway, I had him try this and it worked:
1. Use Siri to "open calendar."
2. After it opened, press the Home button to get to the home screen.
That way he was able to get in.
Is there a Siri command to go directly to the Home Screen from the lock screen? I tried various things I could think of, but couldn't figure out anything that worked.
What would be best is being able to bypass the lock screen altogether. I have another elderly friend who is blind and it is a source of constant confusion for him.
As for voiceover - he is finding it impossible to figure out. I can see, and I am also finding it impossible to figure out. We tried to use it to get into the TED app and select, play and stop videos and all sorts of weird UI elements starting popping up and it was frustrating him so we turned voiceover off. But that's for another discussion thread.
In the meantime, is there an easy way to get home if somebody is having trouble sliding?
Thanks,
doug

I think the more "assistive" features are turned on the harder it is for both my sighted and blind friend to use.
Yes, that can sometimes be true.
Unless your older but sighted friend has difficulty with fine motor movements, I suspect that the slide to open is a matter of practice. If you can convice your friend that they are capable of learning it and get them to work with it a bit that might help. I've found that older learners can become frustrated very quickly with technology. They either have themselves convinced they can't learn technolgy or that get annoyed because iPhones are supposed to be "intuative". The challenge is getting them to feel okay about being a beginner at something.
You're a good friend to take on this teaching task.
Best of luck.

In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

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,

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.

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.

Double pressing the Home button displays the Camera button. However after the phone goes to sleep and is awakened the Camera button isn't there. A double press brings it back. Is there a way to make it stay there?
No, you will have to double press each time on the lock screen to bring back the camera button.
