How to remove spotlight search bar from the Lock Screen on iOS 15.1? Because it’s getting annoying when I’m holding my phone and the sensor lights up the screen because of the movement the spotlight search bar pops up and i start to type unknowingly.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

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 Settings > Face ID & Passcode (on an iPhone with Face ID) or Touch ID & Passcode (on an iPhone with a Home button), then toggle off Today View and Search.


Have a nice day.
