Hi,


The red light on your iPhone turns on automatically, this is the IR sensor for the Face ID module.

Thus, you can’t enable/disable it manually, and there’s actually no reason you want to turn it on, is there?

It operates automatically and you can't manage it manually, as per this paragraph:


"When viewed through certain types of cameras, you may notice light output from the TrueDepth camera. This is expected as some cameras may detect infrared light. Some may also notice a faint light output from the TrueDepth camera when viewed in a very dark room. This is expected in extremely dark settings."
