Hello raeda272,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you'd like to remove the search option on your iPhone Lock Screen. We'd be happy to help.


Here's how to Control access to information on the iPhone Lock Screen. Go to SettingsĀ > FaceĀ ID & Passcode (on an iPhone with FaceĀ ID) or TouchĀ ID & Passcode (on an iPhone with a Home button), then toggle off Today View and Search.


Have a nice day.
