[–] jonaphin 14y ago ↗ Wow, just tried.Steps:- Do Not Unlock your phone- Activate Siri- Go to TownThis is potentially really dangerous. Now I'm wondering if apps themselves should actually be responsible for granting permissions when the phone is locked.
[–] borg9888 14y ago ↗ You can of course always just disable siri for the lockscreen under Settings->General->Passcode-Lock->Siri.Wasn't this exploit reported for ios5 also ? [–] kysol 14y ago ↗ There was a fix in iOS 5.0.1 to stop the smart cover on iPad 2's allowing the lock screen to be circumvented.
