The indicator is very useful when a user forgets to switch off the flashlight or turns it on accidentally. With iOS 17.1, every iPhone with Dynamic Island will show the flashlight indicator when appropriate.

In addition to the flashlight indicator, users can now favourite songs and albums in Apple Music, and the app will generate playlists with those selected songs. iOS will now also allow AirDrop to function over cellular data when the other device goes beyond Wi-Fi coverage.
