How to turn iPhone into a Flashlight in iOS 7

Earlier, you could use your iPhone as a Flashlight by buying an app from the App Store or jailbreaking your iOS device.

In iOS 7, you no longer need an app, you can use your iPhone as a flashlight thanks to the all-new Control Center.

Control Center includes an option which allows you to enable the LED flash on your iPhone, thus allowing you to use it as a Flashlight.

Follow these simple instructions:

• Swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen (even the lock screen).

• And then tap on the flashlight icon to turn it on.

• When it is enabled, the Flashlight icon turns white.

Check out the video below to see it in action.

The advantage of using the built-in Flashlight feature is that you can continue to do other things while the flashlight is on, such as use apps, even turn off the screen completely to improve your vision when it’s dark.
