Snapchat Camera Shortcut Now Available on iOS 18 Lock Screen
iPhone users can now add Snapchat’s camera as a lock screen shortcut, making it easier to capture moments instantly.
With the release of iOS 18, Apple has introduced an updated lock screen customization feature that allows users to replace their Flashlight and Camera shortcuts with a variety of options, including Snapchat’s camera. This new feature makes it easier for iPhone users to capture moments for Snapchat directly from their lock screen. However, while users can quickly open Snapchat’s camera with a single tap, they must unlock their phones to edit or send their snaps.
To set up the Snapchat camera shortcut on an iPhone running iOS 18, follow these simple steps:
- Press and hold on the lock screen.
- Select the “Customize” option.
- Tap on “Lock Screen.”
- Choose either the Flashlight or Camera icon.
- Replace the selected icon by scrolling through the options or using the search bar to find and select Snapchat.
This feature is designed to streamline the process for Snapchat enthusiasts, enabling them to open the app’s camera with ease, though the functionality of sending or editing snaps still requires unlocking the device.
