Android Central Question

I'm using a Galaxy S9.
I know how to put apps in the two bottom corners of the lock screen.
What I'd like to have there are the camera and the Samsung calculator app.

When I run the camera from the lock screen, I'm not asked for my pin. But when I run the calculator, I have to enter the phone pin first.

Can I make the calculator run without having to enter the pin too?
 
No can do, at least not without rooting/modifying your phone's system. For the calculator, however, there is a workaround: the edge panel. You can download a calculator edge panel and that can be accessed over the lockscreen. It's not as full-fledged as the full app, but it's good for basic, quick calculations.
