For Instance, when you tap on Camera’s setting icon, it will showcase four options – 

  • Open Camera, Record Video, Take Portrait, Take Selfie 

Supposedly, if you choose the “Take Portrait” option, then when you double-press the power button, instantly the portrait mode of the camera will open. 

This enhancement streamlines access to instantly used app features and saves time compared to the ritually app opening process.
