<p>You may have noticed that <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/ios-5-1-download/">iOS 5.1</a> changed the behavior of the lock screen camera compared to it’s predecessor, this has caused some <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/ios-5-1-download/#comment-352447">confusion</a> as to how it works compared to iOS 5. You’ll notice that if you tap on the camera icon now it just causes the screen to bounce. No, the bouncing screen doesn’t mean the camera isn’t working anymore, it’s aim is to indicate how it works.</p>

<p>You now <strong>swipe up to activate the lock screen camera in iOS 5.1</strong>. Likewise, you can swipe down to deactivate the camera and return back to the lock screen. </p>

<p>Get used to the new gesture, it’s actually faster than the double-tap home button method <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/14/camera-lock-screen-ios-5/">before in iOS 5</a>, and you’ll be able to take pictures quicker than ever after you get accustomed to it. There also doesn’t seem to be a way to return to the old behavior anyway, so old habits will have to be broken here.</p>
