Restore Missing Lock Screen Shortcuts On iPhone 17 Pro
To restore the missing lock screen shortcuts, make sure you’re on the lock screen. Then, simply press and hold the lock screen wallpaper. Face ID will scan your face to verify that it’s you. Tap on the Customise option at the bottom of the screen.
Tap on any of the + icons on either side of the bottom of the lock screen editor page. Here, select any app or function from the menu that appears.
Repeat this for the other shortcut as well, and tap on Done to save your changes. You will now be able to launch that function or app with a long press.
If you changed them accidentally before, this is also how you can restore the default Camera and Flashlight icons.
