I have tried enabling the setting which opens the camera even if the phone is locked, but the gallery and settings are locked and need PIN to access. After setting the lockscreen shortcut to OpenCamera, when I try to access it from bottom right icon, I can't access the camera from the lockscreen and it asks or my phone PIN. After opening with PIN it shows a generic image icon instead of the previously taken picture on the bottom right of the OpenCamera app as if the phone is locked. I'm assuming this is what it's supposed to show if the camera opened while phone is locked without asking the passcode. But asking for PIN to open the camera itself completely renders the feature useless.
I'm using Android 11 on Samsung Galaxy.
