If we go back to the past a little bit, specifically when launching iOS 5 in 2011, when Apple launched a feature "Withdraw to reconnect" On the notification of missed calls in the lock screen, then you can call without even entering the password to unlock the phone, and at that point people clamored and revolted between supporters and opponents.

Many considered that the feature of reconnecting the missed call without the need for the access code is a break to protect the phone and is blatant on the privacy, as it is possible for any intruder who falls into his hands to tamper with these missed calls, which puts the owner of the phone in great embarrassment.

And people looked at the time for a way to prevent them from reconnecting through missed call notifications on the lock screen and having an option to activate or close this feature.

And there was a way to block this property by going to Settings - Notifications - Phone - Show in the lock screen You can activate it or close it, but this method used to prevent any missed call notification from appearing on the lock screen permanently, and some found it useless, because some people want to see who called and do not want to call at the moment, so this method did not work. It worked, and people started looking for other solutions, so some of them took the jailbreak path, looking for tools that meet their needs.

This feature may also be useful in the event that the phone is lost or the owner of the phone is exposed to an emergency situation, through the notifications of missed calls on the lock screen, anyone without knowing the access code can contact directly through notifications and easily reach the owner of the phone, or it may be a reason to save someone Realized risk.

In the iOS 11 update, you can only touch the notification, not the swipe, and start calling immediately, and this is undoubtedly "To make matters worse" For those who refuse this feature, as it is possible for anyone to touch the missed call notifications, even if unintentionally, and start the call.


Finally, there is a solution that satisfies all parties in iOS 11

In iOS 11, Apple put an option that enables you to disable the call feature through missed call notifications on the lock screen, as you can only call if you enter a password or Touch ID.

And the matter is not limited to phone calls only, but in this way you can also protect any notification of social networking sites such as WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, or otherwise.

In order to protect yourself and prevent the communication feature through notifications of missed calls on the lock screen, except by entering a fingerprint or password, here is the method:

Open Settings, then Touch ID & Passcode.

Then scroll to the bottom of the list and you will find the option to redial from missed calls, then turn off this feature.

And for more safety, you can also turn off the feature to reply with a message from the notification center in the same menu. Then if you get a missed call notification and click on it, you will be asked to enter your password or fingerprint, Touch ID.

It remains for us to know whether you support or oppose this feature? Is Apple thus violating privacy as mentioned by opponents of this feature on the Apple website?
