How to Fix iPhone Flashlight Not Working
If your iPhone flashlight is not working, don’t despair. Here are a few things you can try to get it working again.
1. Charge your phone
Your iPhone flashlight may not work if the battery is almost dead. Plug your iPhone device to charge using its cable, and try again when you must have gotten sufficient power.
2. Turn off Low Power mode
Your iPhone was configured to automatically switch into power-saving mode when the battery gets down to 20%. If you are unable to charge your device at the time, you can simply disable the Low Power mode. To do that, go to the Settings app, select Battery, and tap to toggle off Low Power Mode.
3. Close the camera app
Your flashlight won’t turn on if your camera app is in control of the LED. So make sure that the camera app isn’t on.
4. Clean the flash lens.
If the lens is dirty, the light from the flash will be scattered and won’t be as bright.
5. Restart your iPhone.
A restart can sometimes fix minor software glitches that may be causing the flashlight to malfunction. Try restarting your iPhone and test its flashlight again.
6. Update your iPhone’s software.
Check to see if there is a software update available for your iPhone, and then download and install it as doing so may fix the flashlight issue.
