I don’t care how they do it but I want to be able to press and hold the flashlight icon and, without lifting my finger, immediately begin to slide my finger up and down to adjust flashlight brightness.

Boo form over function. Very minor nod to the increased granularity.

I...had no idea you could even adjust the brightness lol.

I only use an iPhone for work, and Android typically has no brightness adjustment so I made no assumption iOS would support it either. Fun.

    :) I even made a shortcut to set flashlight brightness to about 1% which is lower than it’s possible to set it via UI. It’s a little buggy hence employing a very advanced technique of covering the majority of the LED with a finger. Cheers to your next late night bathroom run or whatever.
