Snap Inc. and Google Partner to Bring “Quick Tap to Snap” to Pixel 6

On 19th October 2021, SNAP announced that Google added a new feature on the Pixel 6 dubbed “Quick Tap to Snap” during the Pixel Fall Launch event. This feature will be available later this year. This collaboration with Google is the first time Snap has built a camera-mode version of Snapchat that can be accessed right from the lock screen of a phone. This will make the Pixel 6 the fastest phone to make a Snap. This quick and easy motion of touching the back of the phone will assist Snapchatters in rapidly capturing moments before they vanish.

Snapchatters may produce Snaps without having to unlock their device since it is designed to go into “Camera Only” mode on the lock screen. Snapchatters may unlock the full app experience by authenticating on their smartphone once a Snap is ready to share. Last but not least, the ultrawide camera on the Pixel 6 Pro can also be used for Snapchat’s new ultrawide selfie function.
