Need Camera App on Lock Screen

Why is it not possible to activate the camera on lockscreen. I missed a lot of beautiful moments, because I need first to unlock the phone and activate the camera app. Is there a workaround it?

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

I think Settings->Wallpaper & Styles->Shortcuts might be what you are looking for

the shortcut is on the lock screen but does not start. you still need to unlock the phone.

Sorry, if I wake the phone with the wrong finger so it doesn’t unlock then click the camera icon it opens the camera. This is on my FP5 so maybe it varies with different phones.

No, it is
→ settings → system → gestures → quick open camera

double press the power button

quick open camera is on. I am using a fairphone 3 with e/os 2.9. But it still does not work at the lock screen. I unlock the screen with a pin code

@cubetti2004 sorry I misunderstood your op

In the camera app there is a setting to ignore the lock. Safety issue that is why you have to change it

no change - always asking to unlocking the phone. Got it now. Needed to activate camera on pushin on/off twice. But why does the link on the lockscreen not work? It is always asking for the pin.

I don’t know. I use double tap power button only.
