Similar question to this one but for the iPhone 7.

The iPhone 7 has 2 amber LEDs and 2 white LEDs. When you turn on the torch only 1 of the LEDs turns on. The amber ones turn on intermittently when using the camera in my app (I seem to have no control over this).

So I have 2 questions really:

  1. Can I switch on both white LEDs on demand in Swift?
  2. Is there a way to ensure the amber ones never switch on?

EDIT

I have already checked AVCaptureDevice and related (whatever is documented), so hoping someone there is someone who has looked under the bonnet and perhaps found another way.

There is no public API method that allows for controlling the exact LED operation on an iPhone. There is only a flashMode property available for AVCaptureDevice, with three possible values: on, off, and auto.

    Thanks, I should have said I did check the public API's already (as far as I could see relevant). I was hoping there would be another way. – Manish Patel Feb 16 '17 at 10:29
