Adjust Torch Brightness Levels
Did you know you can control your torch’s brightness? Most people just toggle it on/off, but there’s a slider for precise control. Here’s how: Open your notification panel, tap the “Torch” text (not the icon), and a brightness slider will appear. You can set it from 1 to 5 levels. Lower brightness saves battery—perfect for late-night walks without blinding others, while max brightness works for outdoor use.
Quick Torch Toggle With Power Button
Need to turn on the torch fast? Skip unlocking your phone. Go to your phone’s settings, search for “side key” (or “power button” settings). Select double-click to open the torch. Now, even when your phone is locked, double-clicking the power button will turn the torch on—great for emergencies like a sudden blackout. Double-click again to turn it off.
Hide Private Files Using a Torch App
Here’s a trick you probably didn’t expect: Use a torch app to hide private photos or videos. The video recommends an app called Torch Vault (link in video description). Install it, grant permissions, and set up a fingerprint lock. When you open the app, it looks like a regular torch—but long-press the torch icon for 2 seconds to unlock the hidden vault. You can store photos, videos, and notes here, keeping them safe from prying eyes.
