I can adjust the brightness of the flashlight but not the width with the new toggle on iphone 15 with the ios update , anyone facing the issue?
Is there a solution?

iPhone 15
The feature might only be present on a few iPhones – ones with a multi-LED array for Adaptive True Tone flash.

According to the comparison tool on Apple's site, the following phones have Adaptive True Tone flash:
The regular iPhone 14, 15, and 16 models do not have Adaptive True Tone flash –and without a multiple-LED flash array or adjustable optics, there would be no way for them to control the beam width.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max might not have gotten the beam width feature even though they apparently have hardware that might be capable of supporting it.
I do NOT have the option either on my iPhone 13pro running iOS 18.
The phone has been restarted several times since updating and still to this point there is NO change with my flashlight from previous software versions. 😤
Tried restarting the phone a couple of times, still no dice on my iPhone 15
What do you mean by "toggle?" I can adjust it by placing my finger on the flashlight and dragging side to side.
I've tried swiping side to side but nothing really happens, other than the brightness changing a smidge. It's like the north-south swiping is enabled but the east-west is disabled
Do you see the arc over the flashlight?
Yes, that's there
The iPhone 13 Pro does not have Adaptive True Tone Flash and thus lacks any hardware to adjust beam width.
