Ditch the flashlight and camera icons on the lock screen in favor of something more practical, thanks to Apple’s changes in iOS 18.
Customizable lock screen icons in iOS 18
For quite some time, iPhone users have been able to trigger the flashlight and camera from the lock screen, without needing to fully unlock the iPhone beforehand. In a pinch, these options can be handy, but they may not be anyone’s first choice.
As part of Apple’s increased customization options in iOS 18, users are finally being given the chance to change those two previously-permanent icons. Instead, users can leave the spots blank, or add actions that they may find to be a lot more useful.
