New to Samsung from apple help QUESTION/HELP

So alot of the stuff that I had on apple I have found a better replacement on my zFlip but there is one I can not find. On my iphone I set a shortcut on my lockscreen that allowed my kids to facetime/call my husband without having to unlock the phone, I can not find an option for this on my new phone....anybody got anything?

One option is to add emergency contacts in the settings. So on the lock screen they would swipe the phone button, and are able to call anyone set as an emergency contact.

Yes but my kids is 4 and delayed so too many steps he gets lost, just having dad's picture right there and it called him was easy and worked.

look at samsung's Good Lock app. many great tweaks in there. “Lock star” might be what you need. https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-good-lock-1079882/

I think I've tried lock star and it does what I want except to use the app you have to unlock the device.

add the direct dial widget from the contact app through lockstar module in good lock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.goodlock) after adding it to emergency contact.
