Shortcut for Flashlight

epyczen — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 15:25:29 GMT

Have you ever wanted to toggle the flashlight on and off quickly without accessing notification bar?

Well, now you can by simply double pressing the power button (side key).

How to enable it?

Step 1: Go to Settings

Step 2: Swipe down and click on Advanced Features

Step 3: Click on Side Key

Step 4: Click on Open App

Step 5: Click on the gear icon and select Torch

Torch

Note: This option is available on One UI Core 2.5(I do not know if this is avaliable in older versions)

Hi. Is there a way to adjust the brightness for the shortcut torch version? Adjusting it by long pressing the torch icon in the notification panel doesn't seem to work, as it doesn't save the brightness setting. It just turns it on on medium brightness (which isn't really convenient because it's not bright enough).

AFAIK, it doesn't save the set brightness. You can change the brightness from the edge panel if your device supports it

Huh, what a shame. It's a reaally nice shortcut that I use a lot. Would be excellent if it could be configurable. Actually I take it more as a bug because it's just so... basic. Thanks anyway!

There is another handy way you can use.
Open Settings.
Go to Lock Screen.
Tap Shortcuts.
Tap Left/Right Shortcut.
Choose Torch.
That's it! Now whenever you want to use torch, just swipe on the lock screen and it'll turn on.
Hope it helps.
