How to Get the iPhone 6s Selfie Flash on Any iPhone
Go to the App Store and search for “front flash: selfie camera” and select the app with the baby blue icon created by Wanaka Mobile LLC. The app is called, Take Selfies Free – With Front Flash In Low-Light. I’ll be using this app with my iPhone 5s.
After downloading the app, open it up. The app is ad-supported so will see a few banner ads during each session of use.
The app works by mimicking the same front-flash actions that appear on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, where your screen becomes the flash. The app has a timer in the corner that you will tap. The countdown is 3 seconds, so beautify yourself quickly.
After those three seconds, the front of your screen will flash to help add light to your selfie. Please note that, the brightness of this flash is based on the brightness of your display. The lower your display brightness, the lower intensity the flash will be. So, of course, if you need more light, increase the screen brightness to its max.
Now, let’s take a look at the comparison below. I shot both images in our kitchen with very little lighting in the room. The image on the left is from the stock Camera. The image on the right is from the Take Selfies Free app. Without question, Take Selfies Free added enough light to at least make my face visible. Without the front screen flash, the default Camera cannot overcome the darkness at all.
So there you have it. That’s how easy it is to get the iPhone 6s “selfie flash” on any iPhone. Of course, it is not the same as the technology Apple has used in the new iPhones, which comes with a special display chip that allows the display to flash three times brighter than usual, but as you can see it is better than nothing.
