Snapchat is introducing a camera shortcut for iPhone to take quick snaps when users are on the run. This feature is among the new features that Snapchat is introducing this fall. 

This feature is only compatible with iPhones running iOS 18. Users can use this new shortcut to launch the Snapchat camera right from their phone lock screen. They can open their Snapchat cameras with one tap and quickly take pictures if they are in a rush. This feature makes it more convenient for users to capture moments. Users must unlock their devices if they want to share or edit their photos or videos. 

To enable this custom camera shortcut, users will have to head to the Customise option and click on the Lock Screen. After which, users can replace the default apps at the bottom of their screen and tap on the Plus option to add Snapchat’s camera. With this new feature, Snapchat seems to be making use of the recently released iPhone 16 lineup. 

Camera Shortcut: More features introduced by Snapchat in new update

Besides the new camera shortcut feature, Snapchat has also brought more additions to the Bitmoji stickers and more customisation options for users’ Bitmojis. Users can customise their Bitmojis with newly added Halloween-themed costumes. 

The photo-sharing app also introduced Footsteps on Snap Map. This new feature enables users to track and reflect on their adventures. With this feature, users can check how much of their town the have covered or how many countries and destinations they have visited. Footsteps on Snap Maps is only visible to the users’ eyes and it is currently available for all Snapchat users on Android and iOS.
