Lens Cap helps you quickly shield the Camera app on your iPhone, including access from the Lock Screen. Use it when you want to reduce unwanted camera use, such as in classrooms, at events, around children, or any time your phone may be handled by someone else. With Lens Cap you can: - Shield the Camera app with one tap - Re-enable the Camera app when you need it - Choose the camera app Lens Cap should control - Schedule camera shielding for specific days and times - Use Shortcuts to turn camera shielding on or off Lens Cap uses Apple’s built-in Family Controls tools to shield the selected Camera app. When shielding is active, the Camera app is unavailable from the Lock Screen and Home Screen. Important: Lens Cap is a practical shield, not a security guarantee. Built-in protections may be circumvented in some situations, so the safest choice is still to keep your iPhone in your own hands.
