Now you can launch Snapchat’s camera from your iPhone’s lock screen


Save time when scrambling to snap fleeting moments.

With the new shortcuts, you can launch the Snapchat camera directly from the lock screen with a single tap, making it easier to capture moments before they pass. Using these controls enables iPhones to launch and take photos in “Camera Only” mode while locked, but sending or editing the snaps will still require users to unlock the device. In a move similar to Google touting its “Quick tap to Snap” feature at the Pixel 6’s launch a few years ago, this change was shown off during Apple’s WWDC keynote in June.
