Wow….if only I could zoom on a PDF with it scrolling away from the page…and read webpages without constant reloads….if only…at least I can change the flashlight button.

Which phone are you using? It seems like you’ve got some real memory pressure and might want to consider upgrading to a new phone (iOS or Android) with more RAM. Using an ad and tracking blocker on your phone should also help reduce the number of reloads by reducing the amount of bloat on each page load.

I prefer the flashlight and camera apps there. Use them daily.

I am excited for this, since the camera and flashlight shortcuts are redundant as all get out. You can just swipe over to the camera, and the flashlight option is in the control center.

I forgot about swiping to the camera. Hilarious.

Should have been possible years ago. Happy that it is finally available now!

I didn't think I would live to see this day

Nice. I will keep the camera shortcut but I’m going to change the flashlight

Nice. I will keep the camera shortcut but I’m going to change the flashlight

but you already have a camera shortcut, just swipe left.

I’ll be glad to see the end of the camera button. On many occasion I’ve had the camera app fire up while the phone is in my shirt pocket and it runs hot as hell after a few minutes. Probably all that hunting that the autofocus is trying to do.

I have the 15 Pro and use the shortcut button to launch the flashlight - I've waited so long for them to do this that what I'd replace the home screen button with has completely slipped my mind!

But the big question: can we finally rearrange lockscreens (like we do on watchOS and even for the home screens)? Thanks if someone could check...

Before people were complaining that this feature didn't exist, but now that it's here people are complaining that Apple can't innovate or that this should have been available years ago??? you people confuse me
