Oppo: Turn Flashlight On or Off via Quick Settings

Searching your app drawer for a flashlight icon on your Oppo phone gets you nowhere. Coloros does not ship a standalone flashlight app, so the toggle sits hidden inside the quick settings panel instead. Anyone coming from a different Android skin usually looks in the wrong place first.

Turn Flashlight On or Off auf Oppo

On Oppo phones running Coloros, the flashlight has no dedicated app icon. Instead, the toggle lives inside the quick settings panel, the same drop-down menu that holds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and screen rotation controls.

To turn it on or off, use the following Menüpfad:

Swipe with two fingers to open Quick settingsEnable or disable Flashlight

A two-finger swipe down from the top of the screen expands the full quick settings grid in one motion, instead of the single-finger swipe that only shows notifications. Once the grid is open, tap the flashlight tile to switch it on; tap it again to turn it off.

This design keeps the flashlight one swipe and one tap away without needing a separate app running in the background. It also means the flashlight automatically switches off if you open the camera app, since both features rely on the same rear flash hardware and cannot run at the same time.

If the flashlight tile is missing from your quick settings grid, it may have been rearranged or removed from the visible tiles. Editing the quick settings layout lets you drag it back into the main panel.

Frequently asked questions

The flashlight and the camera flash use the same rear LED. Coloros cannot power both functions at once, so opening the camera app switches the flashlight off automatically.
