How to turn off camera unlock feature

[Shane Jeffery]

Just noticed the auto correct. *turn off the*. Sorry

I’ve just found out that my kids can login into both of our phones (Nexus 6 and Samsung S8) buy taking a photo then going to gallery. They can then click the home button bypassing the login on both phones.

I’m sure it can’t be this easy to bypass the android security and I’ve forgotten to tick a box somewhere to turn this feature off.

I’ve spent a while searching for an answer but must be searching for the wrong search string.

Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I edited your thread title to correct the error.

What you're describing shouldn't happen -- if you open the Camera app directly from the lockscreen (and assuming you have the screen lock set), then you should only be able to see the picture you just took -- any other attempt to see other pics should show up as a locked icon.

Is Smart Lock turned on? Are the phones set to Automatically Lock immediately, or within a few seconds of the screen going to sleep?
