Iphone camera app not preserving flash settings

How can I make it so that the flash settings are preserved on my iphone camera, and/or make one simple selection instead of six different options to get the flash turned on? With it's currently inaccessible design, by the time I finish getting the flash set up in the camera app, there's nothing to video tape, and the moment I exit the app location, it turns the flash off and I have to set it back up all over again. I have attached photos of the six steps it takes to turn the flash on, as well as the settings that I thought would preserve the settings so that I would not have to do this.

iPhone 11 Pro

Hi AppleCursed,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To turn the flashing on or off, you'll need to follow the steps below that can help:


Use iPhone camera tools to set up your shot

Turn the flash on or off
Your iPhone camera is set to automatically use the flash when needed. To manually control the flash before you take a photo, do the following:
On iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later: Tap the Flash button to turn the automatic flash on or off. Tap the Camera Controls button, then tap the Flash buttonbelow the frame to choose Auto, On, or Off.
On iPhone X and earlier: Tap the Flash button, then choose Auto, On, or Off.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
