Long press lock screen shortcuts instead of swipe

Please allow users to select the option to long press lock screen shortcut icons to open them.

Hello @srs0591,

Thank you for sharing your suggestion! I will forward your idea to the team responsible for implementing new features, who will analyze this further.

If anybody else would like to see this functionality - please let us know in the comments, it would improve the chance for the suggestion to be implemented.

Have a good day!

I would like to see this too. It's very awkward to press, hold then swipe in just to launch an app from the lock screen. Especially for people coming from Pixel devices.

@AnnaMaz I agree, this is actively stopping me from having shortcuts on my lock screen. If I could long press to activate it would be a game changer, it feels so un-intuitive and clunky to swipe to turn the torch on/off or to change the phones ringer. I just want to have the option to change it to a long press. It also is not an aesthetically pleasing design choice to have the screen flash white with the torch logo as is slides awkwardly across the screen, sometimes it also takes multiple attempts. In the end I just resorted to having no shortcuts and using the control center. A long press would solve all these issues in a heartbeat.
