Snapchat Integrates Camera Shortcut on iPhone Lock Screen

The new feature allows iPhone users with iOS 18 to quickly access Snapchat's camera from the lock screen, enhancing the app's ease of use.

iPhones running iOS 18 or later can now replace the flashlight or native camera shortcut with the Snapchat camera on the lock screen.
Users can take photos and videos in 'Camera Only' mode without unlocking their devices, though editing and sharing require unlocking.
Setting up the Snapchat camera shortcut involves customizing the lock screen by tapping and holding, then selecting the desired option.
Snapchat has also introduced a new 'Footsteps' feature, allowing users to track their travels and explore the world via Snap Map.
Additional updates include new stickers, Halloween-themed AI lenses, and the use of iPhone volume buttons for capturing Snaps.
