Anyone with an iPhone should know by now that you can swipe to the left on theLock screento quickly access your camera. On the other hand, not everyone wants their camera to be readily accessible to anybody who picks the phone up.
A new freejailbreak tweakcalledNoLockScreenCambyi0s_tweak3ris the answer to this ongoing dilemma, as it disables access to the camera from the Lock screen.
Similar solutions can be imposed on a stock device by enabling restrictions, but it’s a terrible workaround because it disables the camera on a system-wide basis, which includes in app that utilizes thecamerafor any reason.
With NoLockScreenCam, you may still use all of your device’s camera-based features even though the Lock screen camera shortcut has been removed.
Once the tweak is installed, you’re all set; the camera shortcut is automatically disabled and there are no configuration options to fiddle with.
This concept isn’t particularly new. It comes as one of the many features in therecently-released Springtomize 4tweak, but NoLockScreenCam a good option for those on a budget, as there’s no price tag associated with it.
It’s worth noting that if you have theYalu jailbreak for iOS 10, then you have a semi-untethered jailbreak and someone could reboot your device to access the camera as expected. This is because when your device reboots, thesemi-untethered jailbreakand your installed tweaks won’t re-initialize until you re-launch the jailbreak app and boot into a jailbroken state.
This is a problem surrounding the modern jailbreak in general, and not particularly the tweak itself. That aside, the tweak works as advertised and helps to prevent immature individuals from filling your Camera Roll with oodles ofphotoswhen you’re not looking – an intentional waste of storage space that’s commonly observed in the pranking world.
If you’re interested in grabbing NoLockScreenCam, you may download it for free today from Cydia’s BigBoss repository. The tweak is compatible withjailbrokeniOS 10 devices.
