Keeping your Snapchat streak going on iPhone is easier than ever before. With iOS 18 you can now switch out the Flashlight and Camera shortcuts on your lock screen for any of over 50 options, including Snapchat's camera.

OS 18 allows iPhone users to change the flashlight and camera shortcuts on the Lock Screen to something else, and Snapchat is now an option.

Phone users with iOS 18 can replace the flashlight or native camera on their lock screen with a shortcut to the Snapchat camera.

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.

Snapchat users will soon be able to launch the app’s camera directly from the iPhone lock screen, thanks to an app update and the magic of iOS 18. The latest iPhone operating system update allows people to swap out the flashlight and camera on the lock screen for a diverse array of other useful tools.
