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.

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.
