SiLight: Use Siri To Switch On iPhone Flashlight

We all know that introducing Siri, our very own virtual assistant, was a stroke of genius from Apple. Though she can do a lot of things and help us organize our lives, she has learnt new skills because of a lot of Cydia tweaks, which can be easily found in the jailbreak store. The good news is that she will be learning some new stuff when Apple’s ‘anxiously awaited’ iOS 6 is finally released to the world. We know that currently she can perform things related to the software aspect of your device, and she doesn’t do much when it comes to the hardware. That’s why a new tweak by the name ‘SiLight’ has been developed. This tweak allows users to toggle on the camera flash featured in their iPhones by simply requesting Siri to perform the task. Read on to know more!

Toggle iPhone Flashlight to On With SiLight Cydia Tweak
According to the developers, this tweak is supposed to be the fastest solution when it comes to turning on the flashlight of a Siri-enabled device. This tweak is also an add-on which is based on the AssistantExtensions platform, and it will download it automatically if your device doesn’t have it. All you need to do is download and use. There aren’t any options to configure as this tweak doesn’t have any menu in the stock Settings app. It doesn’t even have an icon on the Springboard of the device. There isn’t any specific command list to make it work as commands such as ‘I need a flashlight’ or even ‘Switch on the flashlight’ or anything similar will make the tweak work. After the command, your virtual assistant will say ‘Will this help?’ and immediately the flash of the camera will turn on.
You will be able to turn on the flashlight; however, to turn it off you will require some other flashlight toggle or you will have to do it manually. You can get SiLight for free from the ModMyi repo of the Cydia Store. What do you think of this tweak?
