Help! My flashlight's gone!

Hi all. I hope you can help me. I have an iPhone XS iOS 18.0. I accidentally removed the flashlight control from my phone's home screen and I cannot figure out how to get it back the way it was.

iPhone XS, iOS 18

I found it! With iOS 18.0 I can swipe down from the top-right edge to open Control enter and there I found the flashlight icon with a gradual brightness feature and that's pretty cool. Maybe it's been like that all along idk haha. However, I am still working on getting the flashlight back to my home screen. Thank you for your response.

Hello, elizabethnyc1780


From what I understand, you have removed your flashlight widget from your control centre on your iPhone XS. Here are some steps that will allow you to add it back to your control centre:

  1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.
  2. Tap  at the top left of Control Center to begin editing the controls.
  3. Then tap the flashlight control to add it to Control Center.
  4. When you finish customizing, close Control Center by swiping up from the bottom centre of the screen.



I hope this information helps, feel free to post more details.


Take care
