Huh, wasn't aware that swiping from the edge of the corner to the right would bring down that menu. I'm used to just swiping down from anywhere on the top to get that...thanks I guess.
Searching for flashlight in the settings of my daily driver brings it up too, but gives me nothing on the iPhone.
No problem. For what it’s worth, they changed the location of that shortcut around a decade ago, but the menu remains the same.
I've only recently gotten the iPhone, and I don't use it outside of work ever, so I basically only use outlook, teams, the camera and flashlight...and regular calls of course.
No texts? F you were wondering what else you could do with it, I’m sure you’ll get a thousand responses to posting that question. Some things work really well you may not even think of.
My own unexpected discovery was printing. My printer doesn’t have a Windows 11 printer driver, nor is it supported by Microsoft. It was well over a year before a found a Windows 10 driver that worked in Win11. During that year of being unable to print from my laptop, you guessed it, printing from my iPhone was flawless. So I added an iCloud Drive to my laptop, saved my docs there, and it just appears on my phone for printing
It's a work phone, I don't bring it home with me unless I know I'll need to support a colleague in a different time zone. And I'm certainly not going to put any personal information or documents on it or use it for any personal use. My work has complete control of the phone remotely and can install/remove apps at will. I'm not even allowing it to connect to my WiFi when I have it home with me.
