iOS 14.5.1

So I recently installed iOS 14.5.1 on my iPhone XS MAX and now my camera flashlight and Face ID don’t work I tried resetting my phone and cleaning the lenses and it still doesn’t work.

Per Apple: If the flash isn't working

  1. Remove any case or film that might block the flash.
  2. Test the LED flash by trying the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.
  3. Tap the Flashlight button .
  4. If the LED flash doesn't work as a flashlight, contact Apple Support for help with your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.
  5. If the flash works only sometimes, open the Camera app and tap the flash button  to choose a different setting.
