How to disable swipe left for camera when phone is locked

I was looking for a way to disable the camera from coming on when I didn’t intend it, like when setting down my phone, for example. I didn’t find anything BUT then I remembered the attention aware features- I had to turn it back on on my own phone, but on my husband’s phone it was already on and i could still open the camera without him looking at it- so i switched itboff and back on- and that worked! I still submitted feedback to Apple about adding the ability to disable that feature because I preferred not to have attention aware on. Maybe they can give us a choice under attention-aware to select what we enable it for.

I agree, but I would like to have a choice- it happens unintentionally all the time and that is super annoying
