  • Cam and Torch on iPad lock screen?

    My iPhone comes standard with a Torch and Camera button
    on the lock screen. (very convenient)
    Is there a way of getting the same on an iPad lock screen?

    I didn't see any, but that may be my fault,

    PS I have Siri activated on the lock screen,
    so I can say: 'Hey Siri, Lumos!'
    but I would prefer silence.
    I can also swipe down from the top right corner,
    but why not just a button?

    You can't add the same sort of buttons, but swiping left opens the camera.

    Yes, and opening camera turns of the light. (if it was on)
    Alas, no direct button for it,
