Sometimes though the handy feature can be a bit overwhelming. iPhone owners will know that in the middle of a dark room it's a bit like turning on the sun.

Naturally users have been searching for a way to tone down the flashlight's blinding brightness, but as it turns out the solution has been on their phone all along.


To adjust your flashlight's brightness all you have to do is enter the Control Center and long press the flashlight icon. A menu will pop up allowing you to choose between 4 different levels of brightness

However only iPhones with iOS 11 will be able to access the menu.

Savvy iPhone owners of course already knew about the feature.

There's also an easy way to close all of the 48 tabs you left open on Safari.
