Open iPhone using calculator on swipe menu

Tried this with my husbands phone and it did work. We both have 12 Pro Max, current on updates.

on a locked iPhone, from swipe down menu, choose calculator, close calculator and phone is unlocked.

I searched and saw lots of posts here and blogs about multi step ways. But nothing about the simple calculator shortcut.

Also, as I said, this worked on another phone that I don’t have access to unlock.

There is no such feature.
