The slide camera feature on iPhones allows you to quickly access the camera by sliding up from the lock screen or swiping right from the home screen. While this feature can be convenient, there may be times when you want to disable it, such as when you accidentally open the camera or when you prefer to use a different camera app. This article will guide you through the steps to turn off the slide camera on your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap on “Camera”.
Step 3: In the Camera settings, you will find an option called “Preserve Settings”. Tap on it.
Step 4: On the next screen, you will see a toggle switch for “Camera Mode”. By default, this switch is turned on, allowing you to access the camera quickly. Tap on the switch to turn it off.
Step 5: Once you have turned off the Camera Mode switch, the slide camera feature will be disabled on your iPhone. Now, when you try to open the camera by sliding up from the lock screen or swiping right from the home screen, it will no longer activate.
By following these simple steps, you can easily turn off the slide camera feature on your iPhone and prevent any accidental camera openings. This can be especially useful if you often find yourself inadvertently opening the camera or if you prefer to use a different camera app for your photography needs.

Testing Slide Camera Functionality
Before turning off the slide camera on your iPhone, it is important to test its functionality to ensure that it is working properly. Here are the steps to test the slide camera functionality:

- Take a test photo by tapping on the shutter button. Check if the photo is clear and of good quality.
- Switch to the front camera by tapping on the “Flip” button again.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to test the functionality of the front camera.
- Record a test video using both the rear and front cameras. Check the video quality and audio clarity.
- Ensure that the slide mechanism is functioning smoothly by gently sliding the camera from front to back and vice versa.
If the camera passes all of these tests without any issues, then the slide camera functionality is working correctly. You can proceed to turn off the slide camera if desired.
Reversing the Change (Enabling Slide Camera)
If you have previously disabled the slide camera feature on your iPhone and wish to re-enable it, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Scroll down and tap on “Face ID & Passcode” (for iPhones with Face ID) or “Touch ID & Passcode” (for iPhones with Touch ID)

Once you have completed these steps, the slide camera feature will be enabled and you can now access the camera directly from the lock screen by sliding to the left.
It’s important to note that enabling the slide camera feature may also allow access to the camera from other areas of the locked device, such as the Control Center. If you wish to restrict access to the camera from the lock screen only, you can disable the “Camera” option in the “Control Center” section of the Settings app.
