Just installed iOS 7? Here's a piece of caution: there's a simple bug that can let anyone bypass your lockscreen and lock through your photos. They can even share them.

Discovered by Jose Rodriguez, it takes a few steps but it's easy to master. Here's how it works:

• Swipe up on the locked phone to get to the control panel
• Open the stopwatch app
• Go over to alarm clock
• Hold the power button until you get the "Power down" prompt
• Hit the cancel button and immediately hit the home button twice, holding it down just a little longer on the second press.
  

After that, you're in! You can go to the camera app and you'll get unrestricted access to the Photo Stream and can share them from there with email, Twitter and more. This isn't the first time this bug has shown up in iOS.

Update: You can fight this by turning off the Control Center access on the lockscreen. Just go to Settings, Control Center, and set Lockscreen Access to off.
