You don't need to be able to see the camera to respond to messages in the bottom half of the screen. And even so, larger iPhones already allow double tapping home to bring the top of the screen down for one-handed interaction, which means you can already do everything but camera stuff (right?) with the camera obscured.
- djrogers 9y agoThat’s a heck of a corner case, and I’ve got a secret for you - everyone else in the meeting who cares already knows you’re looking st your phone. You’re not hiding it as well as you think you are.
- PirateDave 9y ago_You don't need to be able to see the camera to respond to messages in the bottom half of the screen._ But the camera _does_ need to see you in order to unlock in this case. You can't read or reply to a message without unlocking first.
- drakenot 9y agoThis is wrong. You can easily read messages and reply to them from the lockscreen.
