Alternatively, you can add the camera app on the dock of the home screen so that you won’t need to find the camera app next time when you are in hurry and you won’t be needed to swipe screens to find the screen. Since the dock remains the same across the home screen.
Apart from these two open the control center and tap on the camera icon present there it will directly take you to the camera app.
