Side Key shortcut on Lockscreen

[useryL4Q0qLMDs]

It seems as though you can no longer access your camera via the side key double press while on the lock screen. 

In One UI 4.X, this button shortcut would bring you to the camera without unlocking the phone, you just had no access to anything besides the pictures you took in that session. 

Now in One UI 5 BETA, the side key shortcut prompts you to unlock your phone, then it opens the camera app.

My suggestion would be to make this functionality work like in previous One UI versions.

Quick launch camera shows as an option on my s21 beta for side key

When your phone is locked, and you double press the side key, does it open the camera right away? Or prompt you to unlock your phone first?

I also cannot access camera on lock screen by using double press. I think it could be a bug because S22 on beta software can do it.
