How to Turn on Flashlight During Video Call on Snapchat, Whatsapp, Facetime & Messenger
To turn on front flashlight during video call on Whatsapp, Snapchat, Facetime and Messenger, install Flashlight for Video Call app on your android device. As all of you must already know, the feature of video calling uses access to both your front and back cameras. And since the function of flashlight is closely associated with the camera, turning on front flashlight while video call can be slightly tricky.
Here’s how you can:

What About iPhone Devices?
While video calls and flashlight go hand-in-hand on an android device, you cannot expect the same from your iPhone. On an iOS smartphone, there’s no scope to turn your flashlight on during a video call, be it on Facetime, WhatsApp, or any other social media platform.
And if the flashlight on your device is already turned on, the act of receiving or dialing a video call will turn it off automatically.
Can Flashlight Work During Voice Calls?
Unlike video calls, voice calls have nothing to do with your device’s camera or flashlight and, thus, don’t create any problem in its functioning. In other words, when you’re on a voice call, you can easily turn your flashlight on and off any time you feel like it, regardless of whether you use an android or an iOS device.
