Can't figure out how to turn on the flashlight in Android? Here are the most popular ways to get a little light.

There’s no way within Pixel UI to crank that brightness up to 100% in case you need a powerful flashlight. The same issue is present on the Pixel 7 series, too, and possibly older Pixels as well.

The Flashlight reminder feature in the Pixel's At a Glance widget can actually proactively recommend turning on the flashlight when there's not a lot of ambient light. Nice touch that I didn't ...

As of this afternoon, we’re seeing Flashlight in At a Glance on Pixel phones running both Android 12 QPR3 and 13. Some users received it immediately with Android 13 Beta 3 on Wednesday, but not all.

The LED flash on Google Pixel 8 can only reach up to 50% brightness. However, if you think that its full brightness can reduce your handset's lifespan, here's a quick hack to bypass it.

Only use your Pixel 8's flashlight above 50% for short periods. Extended use can cause it to overheat, reduce its lifespan, or damage the phone's internal workings.

Meanwhile, Pixel owners are left to download 3rd-party apps to do the same thing, even though implementing this feature might’ve been a line of code or two for a Googler. In fact, I bet AI did this.
