TURN YOUR PHONE'S FLASHLIGHT ON INSTANTLY WITH ONE OF THESE 5 TRICKS

Unless you're in law enforcement, you won't usually have a flashlight on hand for those rare moments when you need to sift through the dark. However, it is very likely that you will have your phone on you, so you'll have fast access to a bright light with just a few easy taps.[br][br]And while launching an application to activate your Android's LED flashlight is easy enough to do, here are six faster and more convenient methods for toggling your torch on and off whenever you need it. [br][br]1. PRESS YOUR POWER BUTTON [br][br] [br][br]With your device locked and in hand, the fastest, most convenient way to spark your torch is with the Power Button Flashlight/Torch app. As long as it's installed, all you need to do is press the power button on your phone three times in rapid succession to activate the flashlight.[div][br][a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brink.powerbuttonflashlight&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dpower+button+flash+light+on+google+play" target="_blank"]Install Power Button Flashlight from the Google Play Store[/a][br][br]2. USE YOUR VOLUME KEYS [br][br] [br][br]If your power button isn't the most convenient button to press, or if you're worried about wearing it out too fast, then a good fallback option is to use your volume keys. With the Torchie app, you can press both volume keys simultaneously to quickly enable the flashlight.[br][br] [br][br][br][a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.blogspot.anselmbros.torchie" target="_blank"]Install Torchie - Volume Button Torch from the Google Play Store[/a][br][br]Once installed, the app will require you to toggle it on within your Accessibility services. And if you want to use it while your phone's display is off, you'll want to go to the app's settings to see if it's toggled on.[br][br]3. SHAKE YOUR PHONE [br][br] [br][br]For those of you who don't want to create any additional wear and tear on your hardware buttons, there are other options. For instance, with the Shake Flashlight app, you can simply shake your device to turn on the LED light.[br][br] [br][br][br][a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidrocker.shakeflashlight" target="_blank"]Install Shake Flashlight from the Google Play Store[/a] [br][br]The app is pretty self-explanatory; shake your device (screen on or off) and the light comes on. If the sensitivity is too low, you can adjust it from within the app's preferences.[br][br]4. TAP A WIDGET [br][br] [br][br]The above methods are the fastest ways to turn your torch on, but they do cause the risk of accidental activation and potential battery drain. The next fastest method is to use a widget, and if your phone or tablet doesn't have a flashlight toggle built in already, I recommend you give Flashlight Widget a try.[br][br][br] [br][br][a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bleeding182.flashlight" target="_blank"]Install Flashlight Widget from the Google Play Store[/a][br][br]All you need to do is place the widget on your home screen and tap it the next time you want to turn the flashlight on. Tapping it again will turn it back off.[/div][p][br]

[p]5. USE GOOGLE VOICE COMMAND

[p]You can use your voice command to do things like search, get directions, create reminders etc. Specifically, you can use the Google voice command to perform some actions on your device, switching on your torch is one of them.

[p]To do this, just easily Say "Ok Google, turn on torch" and there you go, your torch shines brightly into the darkness.

Good one

But it can be slow on some phones. Pulling down the notifications panel and topping the flashlight icon is sometimes faster.
