1. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
detecting, with one or more sensors, a wrapped geometric form factor defined by a flexible display supported by a deformable housing while in a flashlight mode of operation;
presenting, with one or more processors, flashlight output on the flexible display in a first location;
also detecting, with one or more other sensors, gesture input translating the electronic device in three-dimensional space while the wrapped geometric form factor is occurring;
identifying, with the one or more sensors, a wrist-worn condition of the wrapped geometric form factor; and
moving, by the one or more processors, the flashlight output on the flexible display in response to the translating to a second location as a function of a change in orientation of the electronic device in three-dimensional space resulting from the translating;
wherein the moving the flashlight output on the flexible display in response to the translating occurs only when the wrist-worn condition is occurring.
