OS 18 is a version that reinvents components and functions of the operating system that seemed forgotten by Apple. In addition to the start screen of the iPhone (Home Screen), which now supports many customization options, and the review of the revised Center, Apple has also brought an important update for the flashlight 18 (Flashlight / Torch). Once the flashlight app is open, users can adjust both the intensity and the width of the light beam.
Until the iOS 18 version, on all iPhone devices, the only option for the Flashlight application is the regulation of the light beam intensity. Starting with this version, from an interface that opens in Dynamic Island, users can adjust the width of the light beam.
How to adjust the intensity and width of the light beam in the Lantern app in iOS 18
If you want a lower, more intense light, or if you need the light to be in a wider or smaller spectrum, you can make these adjustments in the IOS 18 lantern application following the steps below:
1. Opens the Lantern app (Flashlight or Torch).
2. Now in iOS 18, the app will open a Widget with options in Dynamic Island. Press the Torch sign in Dynamic Island to open the widget with light adjustments.
3. To adjust the intensity of the light beam of the iPhone flashlight, slide up or down (vertically) on the widget intensity indicator. Swipe up to more light down to reduce the intensity of light.
4. The absolute novelty is the possibility to change the width of the light beam. Now, the flashlight on iPhone devices can design light in a concentrated beam or a wider spectrum. Slide the horizontal bar in the flashlight widget to adjust the width of the light beam.
This feature of the IOS 18 flashlight is only available for iPhone 14 Pro devices and newer models.
