To turn your iPhone into a UV light, you can use a simple DIY method. Place a small piece of clear tape over the flashlight, color it blue with a marker, then cover it with another piece of tape and color it purple. Repeat this layering process a couple more times to intensify the effect. Please note: This is a basic hack and may not produce strong UV light like a professional tool.
