    I had a phone back in the day where all I had to do is violently flick it abruptly to enable the flashlight. I use my phone’s flashlight a lot, always have.

    There are apps that supposedly do the same thing, but I’ve never found one that worked so well, and so reliably as the one that was baked into the phone’s features/OS/whatever. All the free ones I’ve tried have AIDS I mean ads, though it’s been awhile since I last tried any.

      Yeah my Nokia XR20 had a button that I mapped to flashlight. The Pixel 10 I have now I set the double tap back to turn on the flashlight but it is not very reliable…

      My Moto X 2013 had that chopping motion to turn on the flashlight.

      It wasn’t a powerhouse, the camera was meh, but the OS was *chef’s kiss
