Android adds a visual flashlight brightness slider to Quick Settings

androidauthority.com

Android's Quick Settings will soon feature a native flashlight brightness slider with a visual design resembling a real flashlight. This update, seen in the latest Android Canary release, allows users to adjust flashlight intensity directly from Quick Settings, a feature previously unavailable on Pixel phones without third-party apps. The new design includes a vertical slider that visually expands a light beam as brightness increases, though functionality remains the same. It is expected to launch in a stable release around March 2026.
