How do I get the flashlight and the back camera of my phone to work? When I get a call or a message the light is supposed to come on and it hasn’t since I got this phone yesterday

The light will only flash when you get a call or notification, if you have that set up in Accessibility.

Beyond that, to use the back camera, you open the Camera App or another App that has access to the camera: Take photos with the camera on iPhone - Apple Support


You can switch between the front and back cameras, by tapping on the circular arrows on the bottom right corner.
