When the screen is locked, we have two shortcuts at the bottom corners, viz. Left shortcut and right shortcut. Amongst all shortcuts, camera, do not disturb and torch are the three options which can be accessed without unlocking the phone. One very underestimated app is CALCULATOR. majority of us users use their phones for businesses and calculator isnthe most commonly used app. It is very troublesome to unlock the phone every time and also there are security concerns. If one has to only use the calculator for a short period, there should be a option of using CALCULATOR from the lock screen bottom shortcut without unlocking the phone
what great feedback samsung has, I wrote this post on the 5th of January and on the 20th of January we get an update allowing us to use calculator from the lock screen, amazing job samsung
Unfortunately Samsung's calculator kind of contains an exploit that is way too major to allow it from your devices lock screen. Now this exploit is specific to Samsung devices, on any other brand of phone it would be a non issue.
Basically if you type a very specific sequence of characters into the Samsung calculator it, will essentially instantly give you privileged access to the device.
