How to Turn ON Quick Capture to Open Camera Fast on Android Phone (Best Method)
1The fastest and most common method to quickly open the camera on almost any modern Android phone is by using the Double-Press Power Button shortcut.
While a few manufacturers (like Motorola) have unique gestures (like the wrist-twist), the double-press power button is the closest thing to a universal "Quick Capture" on Android.
Here is the best method and how to set it up:
Best Method: Double-Press Power Key
This shortcut works even when your phone screen is off or locked, letting you snap a photo in less than a second.
1. How to Enable the Feature
The exact menu path varies slightly by phone brand (Samsung, Google Pixel, Sony, etc.), but the core process is the same:
Phone Brand Typical Path to Enable
Google Pixel Settings System Gestures Quickly open camera (or Jump to camera)
Samsung Galaxy Settings Advanced features Side key Ensure Double press is ON and set to Quick launch camera
Stock/Other Android Settings Search for "Gestures" or "Power key" Find the Quick launch camera or Double press power button option
Export to Sheets
2. How to Use It
Make sure your phone is either locked or on the home screen.
Quickly press the Power/Lock button twice.
The camera app will launch immediately, ready to take a picture.
Alternative Quick Methods
If the double-press button is already in use for another function (like the digital assistant) or you prefer another method, you can also use:
Swipe Up from the Lock Screen
Most Android phones place a camera icon on the lock screen for quick access.
Wake up the screen (don't unlock it).
Tap and quickly swipe up on the camera icon (usually located in the bottom right corner).
