Hi there Sugar905,


If the flashlight of your iPhone is turning on unexpectedly, the first thing we would recommend is to remove any case, accessory, or film from your iPhone and see if this continues. A case or screen protector/film may be what's causing this issue to occur.


If this continues after doing that, then restart and ensure your iPhone is fully updated next. This installs feature improvements and fixes that can resolve unexpected behavior like this. These articles show how to do this:


If this issue persists after following those articles, please provide more details on when this occurs so that we can isolate this further.


Cheers!
