iOS 17.1 tweaks the Action button on the iPhone 15 Pros to prevent it from triggering the camera, flashlight and other actions in your pocket.
We’ve shown off several jailbreak tweaks recently that completely disable the Lock Screen’s Quick Action buttons or hide them out of view, but for anyone who actually does make use of them, iOS developer NoisyFlake is out with a new add-on that can make using them a little easier.
The Lock Screen is a barrier between your smartphone’s contents and the outside world, but it’s also the very first thing you see every time you grab your device. That’s why Apple made Quick Actions to lend fast access to the Camera and Flashlight directly from the Lock Screen.
One of the restrictions you might discover when recording video via Apple’s Camera app is that you can’t turn your iPhone’s flashlight on like you normally can via Control Center.
As a jailbreaker, one of the things you may always find yourself doing is searching for new jailbreak tweaks to make your iPhone or iPad do more than it can out of the box, and that’s why we’re here to help.
A non-working flashlight on iPhone can be due to software glitches or serious hardware problems. This guide shows you how to fix your iPhone flashlight issues like it being grayed out or refusing to turn on.
The solutions apply to all iPad models with a backlight and all iPhones, including iPhone 13, 12, 11, XR, 7, etc.
Almost everyone knows that their iPhone’s rear-facing LED flash can double as a handy flashlight, and the Control Center toggle makes it supremely easy to access from anywhere in iOS.
Apple attempted to make using your iPhone’s camera and/or rear-facing LED flashlight easier with the introduction of the Lock Screen’s Quick Action buttons beginning with handsets if the notched variety — namely the iPhone X and newer.
In this brief, fun tutorial, we show you how you can create a beautiful flashlight shortcut on the Home Screen of your iPhone, iPad Pro, or iPad mini (6th generation). But first, let's talk about why you might want to do this.
One of the things I really like about iOS and iPadOS is that a tiny colored dot manifests itself in the Status Bar when your handset’s camera or microphone activates. Not only is it a great way to be reminded that your hardware is being used in the background, but it also promotes privacy by ensuring you’re in the know whenever an app taps into your camera or microphone.
I can’t count on my own two hands the number of times I’ve witnessed someone who forgot their device’s flashlight on and failed to realize it either because they were out in the Sun or because the LED flash was being covered by something. Having said that, a similar Status Bar-centric indicator for the rear-facing LED flash could also benefit users.
That LED flash on your iPhone doubles as a flashlight with adjustable brightness. If you use your iPhone flashlight often, you might want to learn a new trick that will let you quickly turn on your device's flashlight and adjust its brightness in one uninterrupted motion.
If you use your iPhone’s rear-facing LED flash as a flashlight to help you navigate dark environments from time to time, then you’re far from alone.
Right out of the box, Apple provides a shortcut on the Lock Screen for the aforementioned purpose, and it even offers a satisfying amount of haptic feedback when toggled. As for a cool sound effect, however, users are left underwhelmed.
