The process of turning on the integrated light-emitting diode (LED) flash on an Android device is a fundamental function. Its operation generally involves utilizing a pre-installed application or a quick settings toggle. For example, accessing the notification shade and selecting the designated “Flashlight” icon typically illuminates the LED.
The illumination capability provides practical benefits in low-light conditions, offering a convenient alternative to dedicated lighting devices. Its ubiquity in modern smartphones provides a readily available source of light for various everyday tasks. Historically, early mobile phone designs did not incorporate such features; the adoption of LED flashes for camera functionality eventually led to their repurposing as general-purpose light sources.
