iOS 18 Will Let You Activate Third-Party Camera From iPhone's Lock Screen or Action Button
iOS 18 includes a new LockedCameraCapture framework for developers, which will bring some useful new functionality to third-party apps with camera...
Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and similar social networks could use this option to create a Control Center camera button able to be added to the Lock Screen that will allow for the quick capturing of photos and videos that could then be uploaded after unlocking a device. Note that this would not upload content directly, as there is wording in the framework that requires the iPhone to be unlocked to view or complete a task with the video or photo captured from a locked iPhone. The sessions include lots of updated next-generation CarPlay images, with one revealing new Vehicle, Media, and Climate apps in action for the first time.
