With each new iOS version, Apple surprises its users with useful features and improvements. iOS 18 is no exception. One interesting improvement concerns the iPhone flashlight. Below you will learn how the new flashlight works in iOS 18, especially on iPhones with the Dynamic Island.
Apple has completely redesigned the iPhone's flashlight feature in iOS 18. With a new interface and enhanced features designed specifically for devices with Dynamic Island, the flashlight is now more versatile and easier to use than ever before.
The new features of the flashlight in iOS 18
In the past, the iPhone's flashlight was relatively simple: an on/off switch on the lock screen and four brightness levels in the Control Center. However, iOS 18 brings significant improvements:
- Advanced brightness levels: Instead of the previous four levels, you can now choose between six or seven brightness levels, giving you more precise control.
- Beam width adjustment: Also new is the ability to adjust the width of the light beam. This is done via a horizontal slider that gives you options from a narrow to a wide light beam.
- Improved User Interface: The new flashlight user interface integrates seamlessly with the Dynamic Island. This not only provides a more aesthetically pleasing experience but also improved usability.

To use the new flashlight feature in iOS 18, follow these steps:
- Install the iOS 18 beta: Make sure you have the latest iOS 18 beta installed on your iPhone.
- Activating the flashlight: You can activate the flashlight from the lock screen, Control Center, or Siri.
- Using the new user interface: As soon as the flashlight is activated, the new user interface appears in the Dynamic Island. Here you can use the various functions.
- Brightness control: With a vertical slider you can adjust the brightness in six or seven levels.
- Beam width adjustment: A horizontal slider allows you to adjust the width of the light beam.
- Turn on/off via the Dynamic Island: Tap the flashlight in the Dynamic Island to turn it on or off.
