How do I adjust the brightness of my Flashlight on my phone?
If you need to change the brightness on your phone’s flashlight, either because it’s too bright or too dim, there are several different applications that you can use to adjust the setting directly on your smartphone. The following instructions are for an iPhone, but Android users should be able to follow along easily as well. To adjust the brightness of your phone’s flashlight, follow these steps
A Video Demo
Adjusting your flashlight brightness can come in handy when you’re trying to conserve battery or be more stealthy in certain situations. Here’s how:
- Open your Camera app and tap the Flash button at the top right of the screen,
- Adjust slider bar below Flash Mode until it reaches desired brightness level,
- Tap Done, and then Close.
That’s all there is to it!
When adjusting the brightness, remember that turning down this setting will also reduce the amount of light emitted from your phone’s camera flash. When not in use, make sure to set your flashlight back to 100% brightness so that you don’t accidentally use up battery power by leaving it off!
Instructions for Android Devices
If you want your phone’s flashlight to be brighter, make sure that you adjust the brightness from your display settings. Go into Settings > Screen display > Brightness and make sure that it is turned up. Otherwise, if you are looking for it as a shortcut on your phone for when an emergency happens, swipe down from anywhere on your home screen to find it. It will also show in the notification bar at the top of your screen.
Tap it and toggle it on or off. Instructions for iOS Devices: If you want your phone’s flashlight to be brighter, go into Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Brightness then select either Maximum or Brighter. For now, iPhone users can’t do this with a quick touch on their phones’ screens like Android users can.
Instructions for iPhone Devices
If you have an iPhone, there are two ways you can adjust the brightness of your flashlight. The first is by using the lock screen, which allows you to change the brightness level with a single swipe and tap. This setting will affect your flashlight’s brightness when it is in use and when it’s not in use. Adjusting the brightness of a flashlight doesn’t make the light brighter or dimmer, it just changes how bright your screen looks. You may find that this makes it easier to see. To go back to the previous brightness level, swipe up from the bottom of your screen and then go back down again.
Additional Notes
The first step is opening your device’s flashlight app. In order to adjust the brightness of a flashlight, you’ll need to swipe up and down on the bar at the bottom. The lowest level is for activities like reading in bed or finding your way through an unlit room, while lower settings make it easier to read under low light. Higher levels are better for preserving night vision.
A flashing strobe can be accessed by tapping on the small lightning bolt icon near the top right corner of the screen.
The power button will turn off a phone’s flashlight if it has been turned on manually.
Conclusion
It may seem like a small adjustment at first, but making it easier for people to see can make all the difference in their quality of life. Though there are plenty of apps that exist solely for this purpose, it never hurts to check your phone’s settings too! The easiest way to do so is by accessing Settings and then Display and Brightness. From here you’ll be able to adjust how bright or dark you want your screen display to be. As we mentioned before, adjusting the brightness of a flashlight will allow you to better enjoy what you’re doing while not blinding everyone around you – because let’s face it, we’ve all been there when someone turns on their iPhone as if they’re auditioning for Saturday Night Live!
