  • Allow camera access from lockscreen without PIN?

Pixel 8. On my non-GOS phone, I can swipe up on the camera icon on my lockscreen and it opens the camera without needing my PIN. Can I do this on GOS? I noticed with the Flashlight icon, it doesn't require my PIN.

thank you, i wasnt aware I could turn this off

a month later

If this has worked in the past it is now broken in the newest 04.09.2024 version. On my Pixel 8a I can not for the love of god get the Pixel Camera to open from Lockscreen without fingerprint or pin verification.

Gesture for quick camera access is on
Security option to allow camera access from lockscreen is on

When you toggle it, it will just ask you to confirm if you want to use GOS Camera "just once" or "always". You NEVER have the option to select Pixel Camera as "always".

// Edit: After a reboot it suddenly offered me Pixel Camera as the first option to select "always" and its now working as intended. Leaving this comment for future people who have the same problem.
