Description
Section titled “Description”Even with notification previews disabled, your lock screen can still reveal controls, shortcuts, and personal information. Tightening these options reduces what someone can see or do without unlocking your iPhone.
A common example, is leaving your phone unattended around friends and later finding a few extra photos - since the camera is accessible while locked by default!
