Snapchat‘s got a new trick up its sleeve, and it’s a pretty cool one. If you’ve got an iPhone running iOS 18 or later, you can now replace the standard flashlight or camera shortcut on your lock screen with a direct shortcut to Snapchat’s camera.

Well, imagine this: you see something hilarious, or a super cute puppy, and you need to snap it right away. With this new shortcut, you can bypass the usual app-opening hassle and jump straight into Snapchat’s camera. It’s like having a dedicated camera button just for Snapchat, right on your lock screen.

While you can capture snaps directly from the lock screen, you’ll still need to unlock your phone to edit or send them. It’s a bit of a bummer, but it’s probably a security measure to keep your snaps safe.

Here’s how to add a Snapchat camera shortcut on your iPhone lock screen

It’s pretty easy to set up:

1. Long-press on your lock screen.
2. Tap “Customize.”
3. Pick a Shortcut: Choose either the flashlight or camera shortcut and replace it with the Snapchat camera.
