Use the flashlight on your Galaxy phone
Not too long ago, there was a time when people needed actual flashlights during a power outage. Nowadays, you can use your Galaxy phone as a handy but powerful flashlight. The flashlight feature is integrated into your phone's Quick settings panel, so it is easy to access and turn on when you are in a pinch.
Note: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for smartphones sold in other countries.
The flashlight feature uses the phone's camera LED as a bright light that can illuminate the area around you.
To use the flashlight, open the Quick settings panel by swiping down from the top of the screen using two fingers. Next, tap the Flashlight icon to turn the light on or off.
Note: Depending on your setup, you may need to swipe right to see the Flashlight icon. You can also rearrange the button order or add icons to the panel based on your liking.
Depending on the situation, you may need brighter or dimmer lights. Thankfully, your Galaxy phone's flashlight can be adjusted for that too.
Open the Quick settings panel by swiping down from the top of the screen using two fingers. Tap the word Flashlight (the text right below the icon). Turn on the flashlight by tapping the switch (if required), and then move the slider to change the brightness level.
Note: The brightness slider will be grayed out if you do not turn on the flashlight first.
