They have to perform a particular set of actions, but they can make it happen if they know the trick if they have your phone in hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Here&#8217;s How to Get iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and watchOS 8<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Researcher Jose Rodriguez discovered the bug, which was then covered by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/21\/09\/20\/lock-screen-bypass-enables-access-to-notes-in-ios-15\">Apple Insider<\/a>. He posted a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5L2uVg8FDBs\">video<\/a> showing what is required to exploit it. It\u2019s a bit complicated, but anyone willing to learn the steps will be able to get access to your Notes app and any notes that aren\u2019t\u00a0passcode-protected.<\/p>\n<p>There are many prerequisites for the exploit to work. First, the person must have the phone in hand. The device must also have Siri enabled, Control Center available on the lock screen, and\u00a0Notes and Clock included in Control Center. If those are all met, the person could then go through the process in the video below to get into Notes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"iOS 15 Lock Screen Bypass\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5L2uVg8FDBs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To get into the app, Rodriquez first\u00a0asks Siri to turn on VoiceOver. From there, he navigates to Notes in Control Center. This will launch a new note, but it\u2019s far from the end of the process. Rodriquez relaunches Control Center, opens the stopwatch, and then\u00a0selects the previously opened Notes app. Instead of the same empty note, iOS gives access to the Notes database with\u00a0saved content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Make Your iPhone Easier to Use With These Hidden Accessibility Features<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once someone has access to the Note, they can get a little creative with it. For example,\u00a0VoiceOver\u2019s rotor can be used to\u00a0select and copy the note. Once copied, a second phone can call the compromised one. The call will then be declined, and the note can be copied into the\u00a0custom Messages response field.<\/p>\n<p>Again, it\u2019s the kind of bug that requires someone to have your phone before they take anything, but it\u2019s still something that should be addressed, as you don\u2019t want anyone to be able to bypass your iPhone\u2019s lock screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
