Hi @cdr4,
Currently the camera shortcut can't be removed or disabled from settings.
If you'd rather use a third-party camera app, the lock screen shortcut can be pseudo-disabled by denying the stock camera app permissions to use the camera.

This is a big security lack, someone can easily access photos in Gallery.
My two old phones have this option.
And Asus flagship phone...? I didn't even think that there would be no this option...

Hi @cdr4,
You can only access the photos that you take with your screen lock
Anything other that that you need to unlock your screen to be able to access the rest of the gallery.

I use only lock screen without fingerprint, password or face detection unlock. Only swipe unlock. In my case "accidentaly" swipe on camera icon open it with full access.
I need to fully prevent from children take/delete photos from lock screen.
Even if I will set fingerprint or password protection, I would like to see lock screen customization option with abillity add/remove icons on lock screen.
Thank you.
