There is more to your Apple Watch than a fitness tracker and a communication device. It’s a little powerhouse with amazing capabilities, such as a useful flashlight.
You read correctly! Though it lacks the iPhone’s powerful LED, the Apple Watch has a surprisingly useful flashlight. It might be a partial-sized torch substitute, but it’s quite helpful when your phone is out of reach.

Here’s How to Use Flashlight on Apple Watch
The flashlight is easy to use and adjust once you know where to find it. We’ll show where you can locate the flashlight on your Apple Watch, how to switch it on or off, as well as how to use it in various scenarios.
