Cons of Removing Camera From the Lock Screen on iPhone
- Unfortunately and questionably, Apple doesn’t offer a direct solution. We have to use Screen Time restrictions as a workaround.
- When you disable Camera access using Screen Time, it gets blocked across your iOS device, i.e., you can’t use the camera at all, and you won’t find the Camera app on the Home Screen or App Library.
- It wouldn’t work with third-party camera apps or other apps like Instagram or Snapchat. The only benefit here is for parents, schools, or other MDM moderators who want/need to block iPhone camera access.

Step 2 : Enter your iPhone passcode . Then, scroll down to the Allow Access When Locked section.
Step 3 : Here, turn the toggle off (or on) for options you wish to disable (or enable) on the Lock Screen.
