Use Sidephone as a flashlight

Turn your Sidephone’s flashlight on and off.

Updated over a week ago

Summary

Turn on the flashlight from Quick Settings to use your Sidephone’s rear LED as a torch, and turn it off the same way when you’re done.

Steps

From Quick Settings (fastest way)

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings

  2. Tap Flashlight to turn it on

  3. Tap Flashlight again to turn it off

From Settings (if the tile is missing)

  1. Open Settings

  2. Tap System navigation & gestures (or Display, depending on SideOS build)

  3. Customize Quick Settings and add the Flashlight tile

  4. Repeat steps 1–3 above

Considerations

  • The flashlight uses the rear camera LED, not the screen

  • The flashlight will turn off automatically if the phone overheats

  • Battery Saver may dim or disable the flashlight

  • Flashlight is unavailable while the camera flash is in use

  • Flashlight may turn off during very low battery conditions


When to Contact Support

Create a support ticket if the flashlight does not turn on at all from Quick Settings after confirming the tile is present and the device is not overheating

What to Collect for Support

  • Whether the Flashlight tile appears in Quick Settings

  • Whether the rear LED lights at all when you tap the tile
