Your welcome, Do you see that light when your phone is off?

The TrueDepth camera is intelligently activated; for example, by tapping to wake your screen, from an incoming notification that wakes the screen, or by raising to wake your iPhone!

If you see that light when your phone is off, contact Apple Support!


Good Luck!
