It could be related – does your iPhone 8 still have its original battery?
And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
Settings > Battery > Battery Health

Okay, good – original battery, significantly degraded and 79% capacity confirms that a replacement is needed. You're welcome!

Although it was time to replace the battery, it turns out my camera went out and needed to be replaced. The bad camera is also why the flashlight wasn’t working. Thanks for your help!
123appleusername ~ As you haven't mentioned already trying this, Apple's iPhone User Guide says: "If your iPhone isn’t working right, try restarting it.":

Yes, I’ve restarted many times. Initially it worked, but hasn’t worked since. Also, I don’t know if this a related issue, but my flashlight suddenly stopped working.
Yes, original battery. It says battery health is significantly degraded and it’s 79%. Should I replace the battery?
I made an appointment to change the battery. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Thanks!
