Can you please consider a way of taking this flashlight button off of the home screen in a new update? I spend all this money to have a phone with a good battery and it gets drained if I put the phone in my pocket. It’s really ridiculous.

No one in this use-to-user forum can consider changing anything.

Hello,

I find your recommendation on flashlight going on uncontrollably rather offensive. All my friend using iPhone keep complaining about that. This bug has a couple of years already. Please do something with this.

The only reason I bought an Apple Phone is because I've had an iMAC for 13 years and it communicates with my phone and my car. Problem is my iPhone 7 needed replacing and the only thing I don't like about Apple is that you end up with a bunch of stuff you don't need or want......this stupid flashlight is the most annoying thing I've found and it drains the battery quickly. The stupid thing flashes every time I get a phone call. Either make it stop I suggest everyone switch to a Droid.....no problems and you don't get stuck with apps you'll never use.

First, none of the users here care how you spend your money, and I have no idea who you think your are threatening. And if you think you don’t get stuck with apps you’ll never use on an Android you are sadly misinformed. In addition to the built in Android apps, manufacturers tend to load up their phones with what can best be called “bloatware” that various companies pay them to add to the basic Android OS. And if you think Androids don’t have problems spend a few hours in Android forums.

If there are built in apps you don’t want on an iPhone you can delete most of them→Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12 or later device or Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you had bothered to ask “how can I keep the light from flashing when I get a phone call” rather than posting a screed another user would be happy to tell you how. Go to Settings/Accessibility/Audio/Visual and turn off LED Flash for Alerts and Flash on Silent (unless you want it to flash when the phone is muted).

Well even if you do that reaching in your pocket to get it will do it if you are using one of the slim back covers. Looks like some one needs to go back to the drawing board.

The flashlight turns on randomly while the phone is in my hand and using it (I.e. the Lock Screen is not activated). New iPhone 13 Pro

This really needs to be a feature that can be turned off ! Please listen Apple.

If only Apple was that intuitive...even allowing their users to totally disable a potentially useless feature...we can dream.
