How to Turn on Flashlight using Quick Settings on Android

One of the great things about Android is its built-in flashlight feature. Whether you’re hiking in the woods or just trying to find your keys in a dark room, the flashlight can be a lifesaver. And best of all, it’s super easy to turn on and off using the Quick Settings menu.

This should work for all newer phones having Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher.

To turn on the flashlight, simply swipe down from the top of your screen to access the Quick Settings menu. Then, tap on the icon for the flashlight (it looks like a light bulb). The flashlight will turn on instantly, giving you a much-needed boost of light.

How do I turn the light off?

If you need to turn off the flashlight, just tap on the icon again. That’s all there is to it! With just a few taps, you can have light whenever and wherever you need it. So next time you’re in a dark situation, don’t forget to reach for your Android phone and turn on that flashlight.

Where is my flashlight on this phone?

Here are the steps:

• Swipe down the notification bar with your finger from top to bottom.
• Swipe it once more to see a list of quick settings.

#2. Shake to Turn On Flashlight Android

To use your phone as a flashlight, install the Shake Flashlight app. Simply shake your phone to turn on the Flashlight. You may turn on the Flashlight even if your Android device’s screen is off by shaking it once more.

#3. Turn on Flashlight with Power/Volume buttons

There are a couple of different ways that you can turn on your flashlight on an Android device. You need flashlight apps from the Google play store for this to work.

One way is to use the Torchie app.

By holding both volume buttons/keys together, you may instantly turn on/off the bright flashlight / LED/torch on your phone. It’s quick, fast, and innovative. When used during screen on, lock screen, or screen off (when enabled from settings), it works equally well.

The second way is by using Power Button FlashLight /Torch app. To start the flash/camera LED light, press the power button on your phone within three seconds.

#4. Tap back of the phone to turn the flashlight on

Turn on the flashlight by simply tapping the smartphone. This is possible by using a Flashlight app called Tap,Tap. This app is not available in Google Playstore and can only be downloaded from a XDA forum thread.

#5. Try Gestures to enable the Flashlight

With a gesture, you may control your flashlight. Different phones have various methods, but they’re quite easy on Redmi smartphones. You can use gestures to turn on the flashlight on a Redmi device if you’ve got one.

(You don’t need the flashlight button.) Let’s see the steps here:

• Go to Settings >Additional settings
• Scroll down to Button shortcuts
• Look for Turn on torch and tap on it
• A list of options is displayed such as Double press the Power button; Long press the Home button; Long press the Menu button; Long press the Back button; Power+Home; Power+Menu; Power+Back
• Tap on Double press the Power button (or any other option)
• Turn off the screen
• Now do the gesture as chosen and the flashlight should turn on.

#6. Use Google Assistant

In October 2016 Google Assistant launched its first Pixel smartphone enabling users to interact with their phone using voice commands. It will work on any smartphone running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or higher and it will play music, update the weather and also turn on flashlight mode.

Tell Google to Turn on Flashlights

If you don’t want to download any third party app, then you can use Google Assistant to turn on the flashlight of your Android device. For that, you need to give a voice command to Google Assistant.

Here are the steps:

First of all, unlock your Android device and launch Google Assistant.

(install the app if you do not have it already)

Now, say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google” to give a voice command.

After that, you need to say “OK Google switch on flashlight”.

As soon as you say this phrase, your device’s flashlight will turn on instantly.

To turn off the flashlight, you need to say “OK Google, turn the flashlight off”.

You can also ask Google Assistant to turn on the flashlight when your device is locked. For that, you need to enable the “Access with Voice Match” option.

The steps will be different for various android phones but if you have Redmi Note Pro then follow as below:

1. Go to Settings app -> Google
2. Scroll to Settings for Google apps
3. Tap on Search,Assistant and Voice
4. Look out for Voice
5. Now under OK GOOGLE, tap on Voice Match
6. Enable “OK Google” detection by toggling it to the right.

That’s it! You are done. This is how you can turn on flashlight mode using Google Assistant.
