Basic Flashlight Tutorial
Electric Torch sounds awesome, like something from a D&D guide. I'm going to try to use that next time I ask my wife where the flashlight is. On an iPhone in the UK is the flashlight button labelled electric torch?

It's a joke based on British formal speech

I get that. They were responding to what they call the Flashlight App on the iPhone.

My Android has a button labelled "Torch". It doesn't set itself on fire when I toggle it, so I'm happy enough.
