An application providing illumination through a mobile device’s camera flash is a common utility. Selection often depends on features such as adjustable brightness, strobe functionality, and integrated battery level indicators. These programs leverage the existing hardware within smartphones to function as readily available sources of light.
The prevalence of these utilities stems from their convenience and accessibility. They offer a practical alternative to dedicated flashlights, particularly in situations requiring immediate, short-term illumination. Historically, reliance on physical torches or other lighting devices was reduced by the widespread adoption of smartphones with integrated flash capabilities.
