Flat white is 2 espresso shots and equal parts steamed milk. A Latte is more steamed milk (idk the exact ratio if there is one), most places just fill up whatever latte cup they have which should be bigger than the flat white cup, and has a small amount of head/foam.
I thought flat white and latte were synonyms and they both meant milky coffee. Now I’m confused, so it’s just the foam?

Flat white is always made with some milk foam on top, traditionally less than a Latte.
So the difference should be in the ratio of coffee to milk to froth, which is also true of other varieties like cortado.
I think there’s also mixture ratio difference but yes.
