Flashlight is very dim all of a sudden

I had my flashlight on & I think I accidentally push something because now it’s very dim, how can I fix or restore its brightness? I’ve already tried the slide control & it’s all the way up.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Hi BethF89,


Thank you for posting here in Apple Support Communities. We understand that your iPhone's flashlight has gone dim, even after sliding it's brightness all the way up. To help with what's going on, we'd like to start off by asking you a few questions.


Did your iPhone go into Low Power Mode at or around the same time the flashlight went dim? Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone


If Low Power Mode isn't enabled, can you tell us if you received any temperature warnings such as the one shown here: Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures


How to use the flashlight on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers!
