<![CDATA[Camera activation on lock screen]]>It there a setting that I can activate to allow me to take pictures from my phone without having to unlock it? Even when you swipe from the left, you still have to unlock the phone.

I will have to check out the wifes S6,while she's not looking

Yes the S6 does that also,camera functions while locked ,but no access to gallery.
She always has it set to minimum battery use, Google background stuff eats it up.

This is a very useful feature.

I do not think this has been listed as a new feature, but I think I will add it.

You could try disabling the screen security completely but I for one would not recommend that as a long term solution.
