Remove Flashlight from lock screen ios16

I don't want to turn off Raise to Wake, and do not want the Flashlight icon on my lock screen. When will Apple fix this? I don't want the workarounds, I don't want the icon there.

How to remove flashlight from Lock Screen Is it possible to remove the flashlight from the lock screen on an iPhone . I see online suggestions like turn off "raise to wake" or turn off "tap to wake" . These are methods to assist in preventing from inadvertent turning on the flashlight. These suggestions are based on the premise that the screen is being tapped (or equivalent) while the phone is in your pocket. I don't want to turn of raise to wake or tap to wake ... as I like the functionality that both provide . I'm not convinced , either that this will resolve my issue as I have been paying great attention to where I tap the screen for "tap to wake" and have been totally avoiding the lower left quadrant of the screen where the flashlight bottom is located. I just simply want to remove the flashlight button from the Lock Screen. I suspect this is a hard coded function of iOS and cannot be removed.

Remove flashlight from Lock Screen I find it best if the flashlight was not on the lock screen. Too many times I find it on when I did not intentionally turn it on. It gets really hot and draws down the battery. I am sure this must be shortening the life of my phone. I want to remove the flashlight from the lock screen.
