This is a super easy one:
- Activate Siri with the Side button for iPhones X and later, or the Home button for earlier models. You can also use the "Hey Siri" feature if you have it set up.
- Say, "turn on flashlight" to turn your iPhone's flashlight on.
- Say, "turn off flashlight" to turn it back off again.
You can't use Siri to make your flashlight brighter or dimmer yet, but that will probably happen with a future iOS.
