The flashlight on the iPhone is a useful feature that can come in handy in many situations.
iPhone: Here’s where to find the flashlight
The iPhone offers a wide range of features, including a flashlight.
- The iPhone flashlight is located on the back of the smartphone next to the camera lenses. It is activated in the iPhone’s control center.
- To access it, simply swipe down from the bottom edge (on older models) or from the top right edge of the screen (on newer models). Then tap the flashlight icon to activate it.
- To access the flashlight from the lock screen, press the flashlight icon directly. This option is particularly useful if you need light quickly without having to unlock the device completely.
- Note: Another way to activate the flashlight is via Siri. The command Hey Siri, turn on the flashlight is used for this.
iPhone flashlight: Use the action button
You can effectively operate the flashlight using the action button on your device (iPhone 15 Pro and later).
- To do this, open the Settings app. Locate the Action button option and select it.
- Swipe to the flashlight icon. The action button will then be assigned the function of turning the flashlight on and off at the touch of a button.
- When you press the action button, the flashlight will be activated. You can change the assignment again at any time.
