There’s a lot or
a little you can access from your Lock screen on iPhone, depending on the
settings you choose to enable. For easy access to features you often use, you
can customize what is available from your Lock screen and turn on features such
as Siri and Reply with Message. However, if you're concerned about privacy,
there are some features you may want to turn off. Here’s how to customize
iPhone Lock screen access.
