Default Android’s new flashlight brightness slider now has a clever design like a r
TL;DR
  • A future Android update will add a native flashlight brightness slider to the Quick Settings on Pixel phones.
  • The latest Android Canary release introduces a new visual design for this slider that resembles an actual flashlight.
  • This feature is not expected to launch in a stable release until the Android 16 QPR3 update next March.

Most Android phones have rear LEDs that can be used as a flashlight, but not all of them let you natively control the brightness. On Pixel phones, for instance, adjusting the flashlight brightness requires a third-party app. This is a hassle, and many users aren’t even aware such apps exist, leaving them unable to change their flashlight’s intensity.

A future Android release will finally let you adjust your Pixel phone’s flashlight strength from Quick Settings. Instead of a simple toggle, the Flashlight tile is being updated to be expandable, revealing a slider to control the flashlight’s intensity. While this slider had a barebones design in the 2508 Android Canary release, Google is now giving it a more striking visual update.
