How to activate flashlight shortcut on lock screen

[Mecomug]

Just done the lollipop update and have been reading about how there would be a flashlight button on lock screen and in notification bar. I don't have it and can't seem to find where to put it on. Does anyone know how to do it?

It looks like a lot of people are missing it. Check out this thread Flashlight.

You can also give this a try, it worked on my Note 4 before I rooted it and used Wanam Xposed to enable it.

Download clicklight in the playstore. The only permission it needs, is to access camera (to turn the light on). It's the same permission your stock flashlight widget uses. Anyways, once installed, just press power to wake the screen, then double tap the power button. Same for turning it off. Enjoy

Try this, I tried others even the ones with the power button, but I found this to be the best. I even bought the full version https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...?id=com.idmobile.flashlightpro&token=uJGjGsQ6
Tip. Make sure you check the different settings.

Also you should be able to swipe down your notification shade while the phone is locked. I do this all the time to use the flashlight.
