Flashlight Missing on Samsung S23

[startac4]

I don't have "Flashlight" on Samsung 23. I though that was a basic function that would be on it. How do I add that to cellphone?

Quick Settings Panel

• Turn on/off: Swipe down from the top of your screen once or twice to open the Quick Settings panel, then tap the Flashlight (or Torch) icon. [1]

swiping down only shows me Notifications. Quick Settings does not appear/
open.

I see I have to make a diagonal top right corner to bottom left corner swipe to get Quick Settings displayed. Flashlight now works.
Thank you olbriar

My S21 is similar. Pull down from the top left is notifications and from the top right a menu of quick settings. I use the right to turn my phone off. There is an off icon between edit and settings that I use nightly.

Thanks. I hadn't realized that off button was there. Too small to have noticed but good to have.

It's a two step exit but the one I use. The quick settings are easily accessed... I like that. Same thing with the notification list on the left pull down. I find it handy and yet not in the way.

You could set a shortcut on the home screen, or set the power button for double tap shortcut

Side Button Shortcut
You can configure the physical side/power button so you can toggle the flashlight with a double-press:

1. • Open Settings on your phone.
   • Tap Advanced features, then tap Side button.
   • Select Double press.
   • Choose Flashlight (or Torch) from the list.
   • Now, double-press the side button anytime to turn the flashlight on or off.

I had an s21 for 5 years and never realised that! I just pulled down once for notifications, again to expand the quick settings.

Mind you I also used the side panel feature to give me a set of toggles like that as well (I use the traditional 3 buttons rather than the navigation gestures, so I didn't have to worry about any conflict between swipes from the side).

Same here I use the three buttons more then the gestures thing.
