Whereas which may sound like a simple query to reply, sadly it is not.
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 drawback: digicam app has a nasty 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 at all times 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 answer doable: shortcuts. I created a shortcut that begins precisely that motion (take video with again digicam, start recording instantly) after which saves the video to the gallery. “Superior!” I assumed. Now I solely need to discover a approach to activate it from the lock display screen. That was easy, I added it to the widgets so now I want 3 strikes after the lock display screen seems: swipe left, faucet on the shortcut and unlock the telephone. Solely to my nice disappointment I spotted 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 by some means quirky.
My query is that if there’s a extra easy approach to begin recording a video with as few actions as doable or if the present answer might be streamlined.
