Flash not enabled in photo or picture mode on iPhone 11 regardless of charge

How do I fix this I’m currently at work searching for something where I need to see in a dark hole I can only fit my hand in, it worked fine before but as many previous customers have stated regardless of charge it continues to give the same error message

Flash not working on iPhone 11 I am experiencing the same issue reported here where the camera flash is disabled: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251086705 (thread is locked to new comments.) The phone reports that the camera flash cannot be used when the battery is low, and does this even with the battery at 100%. It has been doing this for a while. I’ve updated to the latest iOS and restarted the phone multiple times. The flash works fine as a flashlight. Any ideas on how to solve this?

iPhone 11 Pro Max Flash Issues I’ve had iPhones before, my spouse had one too (doesn’t do this) but this one seems to never remember to stay on the flash like the rest. If I click automatic flash, and I go into a dark closet, my flash won’t go on. it takes a bad dark picture. Than if I click on flash On, it stays only for that picture and I have to keep going through the extra steps to click flash each time I take a pic and I keep missing moments. Worst camera system. I’m very disappointed.

Are you using Low Power Mode by any chance? If YES then turn that portion OFF and then try again.
