How to use iPhone x lock screen flashlight and camera?

Hi,


I have a dumb question. I try to access flashlight and camera via the lock screen on the iPhone x. How would I use those two features? I look at the screen and it automatically unlocks but I can't open neither apps. I tried pressing it, double tapping it, press and holding, swiping it in all directions, but none of them work. Is there some sort of lock function that I need to grant access or is it only usable in emergency situations? I'd appreciate it if anyone can explain this to me. Thanks.

Problem solved. Since I was still used to iPhone 6, I didn't know I had to apply slight pressure for it to work. It works fine now that I press with just a tad bit pressure. Thanks.
