Google’s Pixel Flashlight Enhancement Nears Release with Visual Overhaul

Android’s long-awaited native flashlight brightness adjustment is taking shape with a redesigned vertical slider. The visual overhaul aligns Google’s implementation with Apple and other manufacturers, though users may face a significant wait for the official release. Third-party apps currently remain the primary solution for this basic functionality.

Google’s Pixel smartphones have long featured a basic flashlight function without native brightness controls, according to reports examining Android’s development trajectory. Sources indicate that while users can quickly toggle the flashlight via Quick Settings or lock screen shortcuts, manual brightness adjustment has required third-party applications until now.
