Trouble pulling up camera from lock screen on 6 Plus

[kappaknight]

Is anyone else having trouble pulling up the camera from the lock screen on their 6 Plus phones? I just submitted the following feedback to Apple:

One of the best features about the iPhone is the ability to quickly pull up the camera app when the phone is locked; however, this feature is broken on the 6 Plus. There have been many times where I swiped the camera icon, but the lock screen just keeps bouncing back instead of switching over to the camera. Pulling the camera up shouldn't have to be an Olympic long jump sport where only the longest jump would unlock the trophy - and it certainly shouldn't require a 5 inch swipe to get it going.

Please update iOS so that it can recognize the gesture more intuitively and have the camera show up even after a short(er) swipe. I've missed a number of photo taking opportunities because this phone seems determined to require two hands to operate rather than "just work" like its predecessors.

What iOS version so you have? I think 8.1 was supposed to fix it. Hasn't happened to me after latest updates.

Update your iOS version or try restoring or resetting all settings. I used to have this problem literally all the time and it no longer does it. Not sure when it stopped, but it seems like a recent update fixed it.
