Taking a picture from lock screen automatically unlocks phone?

I noticed that when you bring up the camera to take a picture from the lock screen it automatically unlocks the phone without having to put in the number code. Is this just a tech. fluke or is there some way to avoid this (in case a phone is stolen, etc)

your right - that works! not sure why it was doing that before...thanks!

  • PUZZLED: Iphone 4s ran out of space after taking one photo from lock screen and deleted whole photo album. Can I recover?

    My phone is running 6.0.1. I took one photo from the lock screen by sliding up the camera button.  It was a little blurry so I tried again and the iphone 4ssaid it couldn't because the phone was out of space. 
    After shutting the phone off and turning it back, put in the passcode and checked my photos and they were all gone.  my usage says I only have 150kb left on the 16gb phone it says zero photos and zero videos. I only have 10 applications and 606 songs.  It seems the photos are still on the device as the space is being used but i cant access them.  Any idea or suggestions will help. Thanks

    I i backup from current state would it not backup without the photos. Maybe I should just restore from the last backup posible and this should have all photos until then. But before i restore from backup I wish i could just access the photos. I don't understand in the first place how they all deleted, and secondly why iphone still recognizes the space being used.  This is such a glitch, which is very frustrating.  i wish someone at apple can give me more insight....

  • End a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?

    Is there a way to end a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?
    I frequently call into meetings from my iPhone and then lock the screen, I don't like having to unlock my phone just to go off mute or end the call..

    iPhones should not lock at all during any length call unless you're using a headset - wired or Bluetooth. In that case,  you should use the mute and end call controls on the headset.
    The only exception to this are phones that were configured by corporate security settings that force the phone to lock after a specified interval regardless if there is a call in progress.  In that case, you only option it to get your IT dept. to reconfigure this setting.

  • IPhone 6 Camera from lock screen, closes after 1 second...

    When I access the camera from the lock screen, it opens for about one second then just blacks out to a screen off mode. I can still get to camera the long way by unlocking screen and clicking on icon, but want to know why the shortcut from lock screen is buggy. Please advise.

    I'm not sure what you meant with the first part of your reply. However, the reset seems to returned behaviors to normal... so thanks for that.
    Not that it matters much now, but again, the issue was that I wasn't able to go directly into camera mode from Lock Screen... the camera app would appear for one second, then the screen would just go into sleep mode. Unlocking screen with passcode or Touch ID worked fine then opening apps from there all worked fine. Just the camera shortcut from Lock Screen as the issue, but now it is resolved.

  • Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

  • Opening camera or calculator from lock screen

    Recently I upgraded my 5S to IOS 8.3 and now faced issue when starting camera or calculator from lock screen.
    I'm pressing "home" button to activate screen and then start calculator or camera from bottom menu, but the screen goes black immediately.
    When I press "home" button again, I can see that the camera or calculator will be closed and I'm back in lock screen.
    Does anyone else have similar issue with 8.3 ?

    I currently have the exact same issue with my iPhone 5s.
    The previous update was golden and fixed every issue I had with my 5s. I have my 5s set up for Touch ID/password and I was thinking it might have something to do with that, but I haven't gotten around to testing this issue without all of that enabled.
    I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this issue...
    This update also bright back other issues that were fixed in the previous update, for me anyway.
    Is there a way for us to officially submit this issue to Apple?

    Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

  • Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

    I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
    Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through. 
    At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
    This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
    I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

    I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
    Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
    In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
    This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
    Please secure the iOS 5.
    Thanks.

  • Siri on iOS 6 lets me post to FB from lock screen

    From the lock screen (password protected phone), I am able to post to FB by asking Siri to open "Facebook" and either speak or type my message (The phone is locked, all the while).
    So, could someone not abuse my FB by posting even when my phone is locked ?

    Is anyone aware of this?? From the lockscreen, with iOS 8, even if you have a passcode, someone can pick up your phone and say to Siri "Listen to voicemail" and it will play voicemails on the speaker! This seems like a HUGE oversight.
    Why are you leaving your phone where untrustworthy people can pick it up? My debit card requires a pin but I still wouldn't leave it where it could be picked up as there are still things that can be done with it.
    Of course this can be turned off by denying access to Siri from the lockscreen all together, but that eliminates a lot of other things too that are convenient.
    There is always a trade off between security and convenience. Apple gives you the option to have the security you're asking for. Until such time as they change the system, you'll need to decide which is more important to you, security or convenience.

  • Xperia UI frozen after coming out from lock screen

    I find the app switcher and notification bar inaccessible when the phone comes out from lock screen. Swiping down or pressing the task switcher does nothing.
    Solved!

  • HT5858 Bug with control centre? - only accessible from lock screen

    I cannot access Control Center from my home screens or within apps, only from the Lock Screen - very annoying if I want to switch my music output for example or use the torch.
    My settings are on for both access from Lock Screen and Access from within Apps.
    Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

    Hello Adrian Biffen,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't access Control Center from inside apps. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you're using an app that uses similar swipe gestures, like Maps or games, you might have to swipe up twice: once to reveal the handle for Control Center, and a second time to reveal Control Center. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
