Apple unexpectedly released public beta versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, and tvOS 18 earlier this week. While not all features of these operating systems have been fully explored yet, if you’re an iOS 18 Open Beta user, you’ll likely appreciate this hidden feature quietly added by the tech giant.
iOS 18 Beta turns your phone into a high-powered flashlight
As you know, the flashlight in Control Center for iOS and iPhone has been around for quite some time. In recent updates, users could adjust this flashlight with four different brightness levels.
With iOS 18 Beta, Apple introduces a new feature that turns your iPhone into a full-fledged flashlight. As seen in the short video above, the flashlight is now transformed into a small toy. By pressing and dragging the flashlight, you can adjust the angle and the area it illuminates.
Apple has confirmed the first official PC emulator for iOS, UTM SE. The emulator allows you to run old software and games on iPhone.
This new feature allows you to adjust both the illuminated area and brightness with a single finger gesture. Apple has also included a small animation on the screen to make this operation even more enjoyable. It is expected that such hidden features in the released operating systems will continue to be discovered in the coming days.
