In today’s world, we need our devices to look after most of our needs. We don’t like to use multiple devices for multiple needs, which is why we need our cellphones to be loaded with as many functions as they can provide us. One such feature that we use in our day to day life is a flashlight. We need a flashlight for multiple reasons throughout the day, like when we’re checking for our keys in the dark, or we need to get something from the car and lack the presence of light or even to look for stuff under the table or bed.
So it definitely will be very useful to have the flashlight feature on our device. This is why Apple and many other technological brands have installed a flashlight feature on our devices which helps us use the camera flash as a flashlight. This makes it simpler for us as we do not have to carry a basic flashlight with us anymore. Instead, our cellphones can help us, without a doubt, in case we are in a dark place or have to find something after sundown.
Even though we have such modern features on our devices, most of us still don’t know how to use them. Through personal research, I found out that there are a lot of people who still don’t know how to use the flashlight on their devices even now. The process is quite simple and can be carried out with ease. All we need is a bit of awareness towards this. Let’s discuss how we can use our flashlights on our Apple devices like iPhone, iPad Pro, and iPod touch.
How to Use The flashlight on Your iPhone, iPad Pro and iPod Touch
Here are some methods through which you can access your iPhone flashlight:

Although there are a couple of ways of accessing the flashlight on your Apple device the simplest one yet is that you can ask Siri. How this works is, you can simply ask Siri to do that for you.
