How to get the lock screen back under control

[vexorg]

So, that camera has always been on the lock screen? I always thought it had to be accessed from the control centre, and that's what the little icon in the corner was for. I can't go back to IOS9 to check now

If so, then switching off the control centre has been a waste of time! When will they ever get it right.....

I read an article on one of the major tech blogs and the person was so excited to have an easy, one-touch access to the camera from the lock screen "you don't have to go through multiple touches via the control center" I laughed because you could always just swipe up for the camera on iOS9. so, there is the same speed/accessibility for the camera app. made me roll my eyes

Well, some of us have a life beyond our phone, try it some time!

And swipe up was always the control centre, which had the camera option on the bottom right, beside where the camera icon i on the lock screen. If you could swipe up for camera, how could the control centre have worked by swiping up, and why would they also have an icon for camera in the control centre?

You would swipe up from the right bottom edge for camera and just from the center or left for control center, as I recall. The camera shortcut access from the lock screen was there even before control center came about in iOS. Many people also disable control center access from the lock screen so that someone couldn't enable airplane mode or something like that if the phone is lost or stolen or someone just plays so run with it while it's locked. The camera in the control center (in about the same location as the lock screen shortcut) is there for easier access to camera when the phone is unlocked (whether you are using an app or just on the home screen). All of this has been the same for some years now.

I have all options on allow access when locked off:

Messages set to display on lock screen.

Send a text and they appear on the lock screen:

I know I can turn off notifications at an app level.
However under ios9, this combination of settings resulted in no notifications being displayed on the lock screen. Under iOS10 this appears not to work, at least for me on both iPhone and iPad.

In that same settings page you show above, if you scroll down more there is a "show preview" switch. Turning that off only shows that Diane Evans sent an iMessage. Not the actual message. Also see the "show on lock screen " switch. If that is off it will not show on lock screen.

The camera icon was on bottom right of lock screen and could be swiped up. Control panel was more centered and swipe up.

Bugger, there's something I don't know, and will never need to know thanks to IOS10 now.

Hi

On iOS 9 when I received a message I could click/swipe message on lock screen and then unlock my phone and it would go straight to the message app to reply.

With iOS 10 you can reply on lock screen, but I don't like that. What settings do I need to change to get it back to how it was?

"Having a life" doesn't mean being completely ignorant of basic features and settings of the OS, especially by someone who is ostensibly concerned with privacy.

If you're going to complain about changes between iOS 9 and iOS 10, then you should probably know what iOS 9 was like.

TBH, this thread comes off more as paranoid than anything else.

Swipe the lock screen notification to the right.

It would be nice to have nothing else to do that play with IOS as if it's a toy, rather than make serious business use. It's a toll for work, anything else should be for kids to play with.

Well, yes, nothing wrong with a bit of paranoia to keep everything safe and secure.
