Change the Brightness of the Flashlight
By now, you probably already know your iPhone comes with a built-in flashlight you can access from your lock screen or Control Center, but did you know you can actually change its brightness level, too?
First, you need to make sure you have the flashlight control in your Control Center. To add it, you can go to Settings > Control Center and tap the plus icon next to the Flashlight control to add it.
Afterward, all you need to do is this:
- Open your Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of your screen (if your iPhone has Touch ID) or swiping down from the top right corner of your screen (if your iPhone has Face ID).
- Press and hold the flashlight control.
- Swipe down and up to change the brightness level.
- When you have the level you want, you can tap anywhere outside the slider to go back to your Control Center.
There are four levels of brightness available, and you can customize it whenever you need to. Just keep in mind that this only works from the Control Center. If you long-press the flashlight button on your Lock Screen, you’ll just turn the flashlight on — although it will come on at the last brightness setting you used in Control Center.
