iPhone 11 Pro flash modes missing

Found the very simple solution after having this problem myself whenever ur on camera look at top see the arrow tap it turn flash on,if it’s not flashing on automatically:)

What about in video mode?

In video and slomo just swipe up and you can change the flash

I have the same problem not being able to find the flash options. I have iOS 13.3. I can only do flash-on or flash-off. There’s no “arrow” to tap in the middle of the screen....what/where would there be such a “camera control” button? It’s crazy to have this problem. I want to be able to select “flash ON”

Same. Just got a brand new iPhone 11 3 days ago and none of the fixes here show me anything but auto flash or off. No option to turn it on myself in certain situations.

Thanks so much!!

I’ve had an 11 Pro since release date and honestly thought Apple has totally removed the forced flash feature, which I used a LOT! They might as well have, since I don’t have time to try to remember stupid unnecessary extra steps when all I want to do is take a picture. 😡

PLEASE FIX THIS PAPPLE!!!! The flash icon in the upper left should have three choices: on (flash), off (with arrow through it) and auto (cap A).

This is as dumb as turning WiFi OFF (or so you would think...) but only having it DISABLED until an arbitrary time (of Apple’s choice!) the next day. Who thinks of this crap?

Totally agree. This is one of those terrible "over engineered" decisions and should never have made it past the basic draft phase before someone pointed out how you are taking someone from one gesture/press to 4.

I’ve been a photographer for nearly 50 years & don’t need Apple telling me when I should use a flash... There are times the sun is behind my subject & I need the flash to “fill” the face/object. The method Snow1975 suggested is helpful but only sets the flash to ‘auto’’ or ‘off’... I want “force flash” back at the top as a choice, as it USED to be - right out in the open, 1 click, easy to do. For no reason, Apple has hidden it now! 😞 (They did the same silly “let’s hide stuff and add more steps” thing with the choices at the bottom of ‘Mail’ but reverted back to the far better system - more apparent choices - with the last software update.) PLEASE APPLE - fix this hidden “force flash” issue in the camera app too!!

Also, I would like a simple “1 tap” method right at the top, in the open, to turn night mode off. My husband installs motion sensor lighting & I want to show people how bright the lights are at night but it’s impossible to do it accurately since night mode makes every picture I take at night look like it was shot mid-day! 😏

Weird... it should work on video and slomo as well. In my initial post I shared a screenshot of what you’re looking for. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250686257?answerId=252200204022#252200204022

Yep... it seems like they were attempting to make the use of flash more automatic so you don’t have to set it on for it to work, but at the same time, there’s situations (especially on video) were you want to just set it on, and adding the somewhat obscure menu wasn’t the cleanest approach. I think being able to toggle through Auto, Off, AND On through the button in the top left was the best move. Maybe they’ll change it in a future update!

I have same exact problem . I’m trying to take photos in my attic of water leak and the **** flash won’t go off . It keeps going to that low light mode . I don’t want low light mode . I need the dang flash to illuminate so I can document my damage . Not a happy camper

Which is the Camera Controls button?

After searching everywhere, your answer did it for my 11 pro! Thanks

Thank you that was really helpful
