Native controls. Warm light.

Lantern adds a warm flashlight control to Control Center. Tap to toggle, or open the expanded control to adjust brightness with Apple's native intensity slider. Apple's stock flashlight remains available for white light.

Native intensity controlAdjust brightness in the expanded view.

The expanded ON header combines a white and translucent-white lantern with yellow flame and rays. The intensity slider keeps its native appearance.

Known limitations
  • Switching between Lantern and Apple's flashlight at the same brightness may require a second interaction to update physical output.
  • Apple's expanded flashlight intensity interface can display its active indicator while Lantern is operating.

Before you install

  • Owner-observed: iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17.0 (21A329), Dopamine rootless: selecting Lantern crashes SpringBoard during Control Center initialization and enters Safe Mode. The cause is unknown. Warm-light capability on iPhone 14 Pro is unverified.
  • Tester-reported, not independently verified: iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 18.1.1, converted RootHide installation: the control appears, but the light reportedly remains white. Conversion does not establish compatibility.
  • Other reports, not independently verified: Safe Mode on iOS 16.5.1 and functionality on other iOS 18 configurations. These do not establish broader support; reported failure causes remain unknown.

If a crash or Safe Mode occurs, stop testing and keep any existing reports. Do not reproduce a crash to collect logs. Report compatibility from observations already made; review attachments for private information.
