Iphone Flashlight Evolution

1
I remember when a flashlight was just simply that.
2
However, as technology advances everyday new and
improved ways of flashlights are being made.
3
The most common flashlight that people possess
isnt necessarily a flashlight, but a flashlight
enabled smart phone.
4
However, there can be issues with technology
especially when it comes to the Iphone.
5
With that said I would like to help consumers
know just how to access that very important
function of your Iphone.
6
Remember when the App Store used to be filled
with flashlight apps? Flashlight apps were easy
for amateur software developers to make because
they only did one thing turning on the LED that
your iPhone uses as a flash when you take a
picture.
7
Flashlight apps were buggy because they werent
programmed by professionals.
8
They were filled with ads and usually designed to
make the developer a quick buck.
9
Apple realized the flashlight needed to be easy
to access at any time, so they added it to your
iPhones Control Center.
10
A few years ago, Apple decided enough was enough.
11
They pulled every flashlight app from the App
Store and built a flashlight directly into iOS,
the iPhones operating system.
12
(Since then, theyve allowed apps with extra
features back into the App Store).
13
When you tap the power button to put your iPhone
to sleep, the flashlight turns off, right? Wrong.
14
People walk around with illuminated pockets
because they dont know they have to go back to
the Control Center and turn off their flashlight
after they finish using it.
15
The iPhones flashlight only turns itself off
when you power off your iPhone or it runs out of
battery.
16
Control Center is designed to give you easy
access to important features of your iPhone.
17
You can open the Control Center from any screen
as long as your iPhone is awake you dont even
need to enter your pass code.
18
To open Control Center, use your finger to swipe
up from the very bottom of the screen.
19
A box with several icons and sliders will appear.
20
Take a look in the bottom left hand corner of
Control Center and youll see a small flashlight
icon.
21
Tap the flashlight icon to turn your flashlight
on or off.
22
Whether its a real emergency or the restaurants
too dark to read the menu, the flashlight on your
iPhone can be a life-saver.

In this article, you learned how to turn your
iPhones flashlight on or off using the Control
Center.
