Quick access to flashlight + screen brightness tips?

[Steve Finkelstein]

Hey all,

Thanks so much for the help this forum has been providing me in my switch from iPhone to Android. Great community.

I'm sure this is possible on Android, I just can't figure out what the 'optimal' way of doing so is. On my iPhone in order to quickly access flash light or screen brightness, even on the lock screen I was able to swipe from Up -> Down and be able to access both directly from there at anytime.

Is there a way to shortcut or add some quick access to those two functions? I'm guessing I could apply this to any functionality on the app, but those are two things I seem to access quite often .. well, that an enabling/disabling WiFi.

Thanks for any tips.

If you have your lock screen setup with a screen before it you could have your flashlight in the app row at the bottom. You could also find a app that has a widget for brightness and put it on the widget lock screen. I don't know of any app that uses a widget on the lockscreen , you'll have to search or wait for someone else to reply.

Try Quick Control Panel. It let's you cuatomize a bottom swipe up control panel similar to iOS. There is a built in flashlight toggle.
