iPhone 13 flashlight

Whenever I’m playing a game or streaming video my flashlight turns on even though I’m not on that screen. How can I prevent this? It’s not all the time just random times. One day it will come on with a game next day same game it stays off. Never had this problem before with any other iPhone.

Hello AceShannon25,


The first thing we would suggest would be to power cycle the iPhone by pressing and holding either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. While simple, this can refresh the iOS, apps and connections. More information is available here:  Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Be sure the iPhone is running the latest iOS. Just as a reminder, here are the different ways available to update iOS: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Be sure to follow the instructions on how to make a backup of your data before updating.

Have a good day.
