Hello everyone, I’ve updated my iPhone 15 Plus to ios 18, and as per the given features, I am able to increase the intensity of my flashlight but not able to change the width of the flashlight, even if I move my finger from left to right or vice versa. Please help.

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18
It seems that feature is only available on certain phones. From contributor Servant of Cats:
The feature might only be present on a few iPhones – ones with a multi-LED array for Adaptive True Tone flash.

Reddit – iOS 18 Flashlight supports beam width
According to the comparison tool on Apple's site, the following phones have Adaptive True Tone flash:
The regular iPhone 14, 15, and 16 models do not have Adaptive True Tone flash –and without a multiple-LED flash array or adjustable optics, there would be no way for them to control the beam width.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max might not have gotten the beam width feature even though they apparently have hardware that might be capable of supporting it.

Apple must remove that icon for the not supporting phone else it will keep confusing us.
