Since the introduction of dual led flash on iPhone I’ve never seen anyone being able to use the 2 leds simultaneously as a flashlight. What is this? Another API limitation by Apple? Tell me an app that does this exists
 
I did a search a couple of years ago cos i wanted the „orange“ led instead of the blueish. but nothing

I've often wanted this at night or when I'd really prefer a soft glow to a blinding light.
I wish Apple could expose the API for someone to make a flashlight app that had more than a couple brightness options and allowed color mixing.

So are we actually confirming that this is an API limitation? If so this time Apple really outdid themes, wow.. this is next level useless user limitation right here. Treating every user as a kid and preventing them from blinding each other with a flashlight?

The article below appears to — it’s a few years old.


Doing a skim of some related documentation, I’m only seeing general LED access, not array level.
