Annoyed by the stupid pictures your "friends" fill your locked #iPhone with? Worried about the potential attack vector the photo app represents?

iOS 26.1 finally added the option to disable the camera in the lock screen.

@harrysintonen pardon my potential ignorance here but as far as I’ve ever experienced, if you swipe to open the camera on a locked phone, you are only able to see the photos taken DURING THAT INTERACTION, and not the entire camera roll.

Now I can see why you’d want to disable this, but not sure “access to your photos” is actually the risk that exists.*

*Baring catastrophic vulnerabilities. And me being totally wrong which is common.
