      I remember that on my LG viewty I had to download and then run some form of a file to turn the screen white for it to have a torch.
      And the first time I ran it I was all “omg, this is amazing. What will they think of next!?!!”

      no. my first smartphone ran android 1.6 and had a flashlight. may have been a htc-specific thing back then though.

        I think so. I remember installing a flashlight app on my Samsung phones later than that. From what I can find online it was introduced into base Android until 5.0
