I have confirmed that the selfie Flash on cover screen does not does not work on both my z-fold 4 and z-fold 6 phones.

Flash option available on inside screen
After activating cover view from the inside screen on my z-fold devices and transferring control, there is no selfie Flash button.

This is one of the coolest features available on a z-fold device and it would be a real nice feature to be able to use your flash in a dark environment.

I also found this out myself when I tried to take a group shot of my family and I when we were chasing the northern lights.

It's a huge bummer but it's absolutely necessary for your safety. The fold's flashlights are very bright and can burn your vision if it flashes right into your eyes. I found this out the hard way with my iPhone way back when I was a dumb kid, and had a part of my vision burned for half a week.

If you need some light but need in safely, you can use the multi app functionality to your advantage. Open up an app with a completely white screen (such as a blank canvas in a drawing app like PenUp or Krita) and use the white pixels to light up the picture.
This is something I had just thought up right now so I can't guarantee it'll be very effective... but it's something to try at least!

They just need to fix the software so the Flash is available when the Fold is open and taking a selfie šŸ¤³ with the controls on the cover screen.
