Upcoming Flashlight Brightness Control: Pixel Phones Finally Get Adjustable LED Torch in Quick Settings
Pixel phone users will soon enjoy a long-awaited feature: native flashlight brightness adjustment straight from the Quick Settings panel. While the hardware has supported variable LED intensity on many Pixel models for years, Google only recently enabled the underlying API with Android 13, paving the way for third-party apps to fill the gap. However, the stock Android interface has lacked a built-in slider, forcing users to seek out apps like FlashDim or Googles Magnifier for more precise control. Thats set to change with the next quarterly release of Android 16, as the latest beta reveals an expandable Quick Settings flashlight tile with an integrated brightness slider. This update will address a common frustrationcurrently, Pixel devices default to 50% intensity when toggling the flashlight, which may be too dim for certain situations or wasteful for users who dont need full brightness. The new native solution will not only improve convenience and flexibility but also align Pixel phones with other leading Android devices that already offer such controls. This move highlights Googles ongoing efforts to refine the user experience on its flagship devices.
