First and foremost, Apple does not have an easy way to block iPhone camera control from the Lock screen. As a result, we’ll have to find a solution to complete the task.

As a result, any time you want to take a picture, you must first remove the restriction. That may be uncomfortable for people who constantly take videos or grab photos. However, for those who aren’t into smartphone photography, this might not be a big deal.

So, if you’ve decided to turn off or remove the camera from the lock screen on your iPhone then here are the steps. Remember that the following screenshots are taken on iPhone running on iOS 14.
