How to PyPass iPhone Lock Screen to Access Photos:

We have simplified it with these step by step process for you. You can easily follow or test it on your device.

1. First of all make sure to call the iPhone (test device) from any phone.
2. The trick here is if you don’t know the phone number of that specific iPhone, you can simply ask siri “what is my Phone Number” or “Who I Am”. Once the number is displayed on the screen you can simply call .
3. Now the trick here is that you don’t have to answer the call, Instead tap on the Messages and tap on Custom.
4. Now type some words in text message box and Ask siri to enable voice over which is mostly used by blind users.
5. Tap on the camera icon.
6. Invoke Siri with the iPhone’s home button and at the same time double-tap the phone’s screen (it does not work then repeat many times).
7. When the screen comes black, swipe your finger on the screen up to the top left corner where VoiceOver will read aloud what you have selected. Keep swiping until VoiceOver reads “Photo Library.”

9. Now swipe your finger up to VoiceOver read aloud the characteristics of each photo.
10. Double-tap on a photo will display it while adding the picture to the text box, which you can then send to any number.
