An iPhone feature essentially untouched by Apple since it debut has received a big makeover in iOS 18.
This story is part of our complete Apple WWDC coverage Following the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, developers are starting to dig into the first iOS 18 developer beta. Though this beta lacks Apple Intelligence and many of the other features demoed on Monday, it offers a surprising new take on an old iOS feature: the flashlight.
Recommended Videos Previously, iOS allowed you to change the brightness levels of your iPhone’s flashlight. Now, in iOS 18, you can adjust the beam pattern of the light — allowing you to make the flashlight wider or narrower. This slick trick was first mentioned by Snazzy Labs on X, formerly Twitter, although many others have discovered it, including Android Authority.
The Apple beta season has just begun for the year. As a result, there may be changes to how the flashlight functions in future iOS 18 beta versions. It’s also possible, although less likely, that the company will remove the new feature before iOS 18 is released to the public in the fall. Nonetheless, the iOS 18 flashlight update came as a pleasant surprise, and it’s unlike anything currently available on Android.
