Instagram and Samsung collaborate for seamless camera access on Galaxy S24 lock screen

A hidden pop-up in the Instagram app has revealed an innovative feature designed exclusively for the Galaxy S24 series.

As discovered by Alessandro Paluzzi on Twitter/X, the feature enables users to access the Instagram Camera directly from the lock screen, streamlining the process of capturing moments for new posts or stories.

The app says:

• Access the Instagram Camera from your lock screen.
• Samsung Galaxy S24 users can enable a shortcut to Instagram Camera in settings.

While the specific functionality remains undisclosed, the prospect of accessing the Instagram Camera without fully unlocking the phone suggests a convenient and efficient experience for users.

This collaboration marks another notable partnership between Samsung and Instagram, following the Galaxy S10 series, where Samsung's camera app featured a dedicated "Instagram Mode," facilitating direct story uploads.
