Flashlight brightness

Hello everyone,

I'm using the latest weekly builds for my Mi 13 Pro since few weeks now, and woww... never expected as much. Such greats optimisations and life-changing features. But as the eternal unsatisfied that I am, I was wondering if in the near future will come a feature to change flashlight brightness, I'm really excited about this feature getting added and especially since the android 13's release supposed to bring it natively, but never worked on my different xiaomis...
