How to: Use the "Quick Camera Button" on iOS

If you’ve upgraded your iOS device to iOS 5.1, you may have noticed the above icon on the device.  Not only is the design of the icon different then the previous iOS version, their is also a new way to use the camera shortcut (thanks for showing me this, Kelly!)

Previously, if you double tap on the icon, you’d go into the camera app.  Trying to do the same thing in 5.1 only makes the screen jump.

To get into the app, do the following:

1.  Place your finger on the camera icon.
2.  Move the camera icon upwards.
3.  That’s it.

God only knows why Apple changed this.  But it has caused a lot of frustration and confusion for the past few days.
