It happens to my iphone 5 every time I try to replicate.

----------

Any chance for an alternative to YouTube like a synopsis?


Sure. You try to unlock the phone. Then before the screen unlocks, I mean before the animation, hold your finger on the screen and slide it left. Bang! Your wallpaper is now your lock screen wallpaper.

Was able to replicate this, after I found out the trick behind it.

Basically as you unlock the screen just lift your finger up for a slight second and tap right back. It should work then.

edit: I am on 7.0 still so it's iOS 7 wide.

Agree with iOS 7 wide. I was able to replicate it on my ipod touch

Have to report to Apple about this cute little bug?

Interesting, but I hope they fix the problem with being able to download additional apps without entering the password again first.

You can change a setting in restrictions that requires you to enter your password every time you download an app.

Yes, that is the bug I'm speaking of. I have that option set but if I download an app and enter the password, it will request a password for subsequent apps, but if you tap OK without entering a password, it will download anyway.

It does not matter, but it is just, erm, cute bug.

Can any developers here help to report to Apple? I dont know the way to do so. :cool:

Apple Live long and prosper :apple:

Able to replicate on my 4s. Unable to replicate if passcode screen is there. So if passcode setting is set to "immediately", would not have that bug. If passcode lock is set with a delay, the bug can only be replicated before delay is up.

OP: you are right - it is only a cute bug - not a serious issue. I am sure it would be way at the bottom of Apple's bug fix list.

Yeah, I've tried several times and this does not happen on my iPhone 5.
