where is the flashlight on my moto g phone?

The flashlight on a Moto G phone is usually in Quick Settings : swipe down from the top of the screen twice, then tap the Flashlight tile or lightbulb icon. Motorola phones also often support a chop twice gesture in Settings > Gestures > Moto Gestures or Fast Flashlight, depending on your model and software version.

Fastest way

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen.
  2. Swipe down again to open the full Quick Settings panel.
  3. Tap Flashlight to turn it on.
  4. Tap it again to turn it off.

If you don’t see it

  • Tap the edit/pencil button in Quick Settings and add the Flashlight tile.
  • On some Moto G phones, the feature is listed under Gestures as Fast flashlight or Chop twice for flashlight.

Shortcut gesture

  • Open Settings.
  • Go to Gestures or Moto settings.
  • Turn on the flashlight gesture.
  • Do a quick double chop motion to toggle the light.

Tiny example

If you’re in the dark and need it quickly, just pull down the notification shade and tap the flashlight tile once. That is usually the simplest route on any Moto G phone.
