How to bypass iOS 8.1 Lockscreen & access photos – IPHONE, IPAD & IPOD TOUCH

A new lock screen bypass has been discovered in iOS 8 that allows anyone to certain action with the help of siri . The shocking part about this bypass is that it can be done in under five seconds. This isn’t the first time that lock screen security on iOS has been compromised, but this does require very specific conditions in place in order to work. It’s a silly game Apple plays, how can there be so many bypass methods in iOS to date? iOS 3.1.3 was the very first iOS to have its own passcode lock bypass, then 6.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 2 on 7.1.1, 8.0 & 2 on 8.0.2.

In this latest iOS 8.1 Bypass, the iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 1, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2 & iPod Touch 5th Generation are affected. iOS 8 as a whole is affected, iOS 8.1, iOS 8.0.2 and iOS 8.0 all have this bug.

What this iOS 8.1 Bypass accomplishes is unrestricted access to all of the photos on the device including the iCloud photo library which is shared between devices. Meaning you could use this iOS 8.1 Bypass to access photos from a completely different device that is linked to the iPhone you are performing this iOS 8.1 bypass on. Performing this iOS 8.1 bypass is very simple but depending on your device it could take anywhere from 0 seconds to 3 minutes to complete. It is very simple to recreate though and doesn’t require any insane steps.

Step 1. To do this open up the camera application from the lockscreen and then video recording option.

Step 2. Simultaneously select either the “Volume Up” or “Volume Down” button while pressing the “Camera Roll” cube. If you do it correctly, the camera roll will come up and you’ll be greeted with a blank white page or any pictures you may have taken from the locked device.

Step 3. Go back to the camera application and you’ll notice that it is still recording. Now simply hold the home button to activate Siri and Facetime anybody in the contacts.

Step 4. Depending on your device, some of you may instantly get the screen we need or some like me will get stuck on facetime calling for 3 minutes. Just bring up the control center and enable airplane mode after you hear that the call connects. After 3 minutes you will be greeted with a screen that says Facetime is unavailable.

Step 5. Press the green reply button and then the camera icon. Boom, you’re in!

How to prevent this : 

Hard to believe that this is still available in iOS 8.1 but you can easily protect yourselves by disabling Siri from the lockscreen to prevent this iOS 8.1 Bypass.

Key Features of Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro

• 5 MP Secondary Camera
• Android v4.4 (KitKat) OS
• 16 MP Primary Camera
• 3 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM
• 4000 mAh Battery
• Wi-Fi Enabled
• 6-inch Capacitive Touchscreen
• 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC Quad Core Processor

Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro is priced at Rs 32,999 .

Review :

Pros :
1. The 6 inch QHD screen is impressively amazing. The bezels are so thin and make the phone look super cool.
2. The build of the phone is of premium looks. The phone is incredibly thin and the metallic feel complements it's overall style.
3. The snapdragon 801 chipset married to a 3 GB RAM makes scrolling through the UI and running various apps so lag free and fluid.
4. The camera is amazing ! Take my word for it. It's amazing.
5. The Vibe UI is cool. The wallpaper switching effect is cool.
5. It has a notification LED. I love notification LEDs.
6. The sound quality is good, though the bass seems to be a little less.
7. The phone has a mammoth battery of 4000 mA. And it lasts long. Really long.
8. I love the fact we can switch to stock android UI without having to root the phone. That's a really interesting feature.
9. Almost the apps we need come bundled. There's no much bloat-ware.
10. 4K video recording is crystal clear. Fantabulous !

Cons :
1. I wish it had an expandable memory slot. Especially because of its ability to record 4K videos, the memory would be full soon.
2. I wish the second SIM slot was 3G enabled. (Too much to ask?, maybe...)
3. I wish the earphones that came bundled were of a more premium quality.
4. The rear camera juts out of the body a bit. That's of some concern as the glass can get scratches soon.
