ios – How can I begin recording a video with as few actions as potential on my iPhone?

Whereas that may sound like a straightforward query to reply, sadly it isn’t.

I’ve an iPhone 6s operating iOS 15.8.2. The obvious factor to do is with the display screen locked, swipe left and begin recording. Solely downside: digital camera app has a foul behavior of remembering the final choice and that doesn’t assist to shortly begin recording. And no, the setting to not keep in mind the final motion is ineffective. Sadly.

Subsequent factor I attempted was to voice activate it. However that was too far fetched, the microphone was all the time on, it was draining the battery and I wasn’t even near reaching what I needed so I gave up.

Then I got here to the closest resolution potential: shortcuts. I created a shortcut that begins precisely that motion (take video with again digital camera, start recording instantly) after which saves the video to the gallery. “Superior!” I believed. Now I solely should discover a method to activate it from the lock display screen. That was easy, I added it to the widgets so now I would like 3 strikes after the lock display screen seems: swipe left, faucet on the shortcut and unlock the cellphone. Solely to my nice disappointment I noticed that this is not flawless: if I faucet on the shortcut and I am not fast sufficient to put my finger on the fingerprint sensor earlier than the contact id immediate seems, then the motion is canceled fairly shortly. That is one way or the other quirky.

My query is that if there’s a extra simple method to begin recording a video with as few actions as potential or if the present resolution could possibly be streamlined.
