Random Flashlight
On my IPhone 14 Pro my flashlight randomly goes on while I am texting. Does anyone else have this occurrence? Is it possible that the start or volume buttons are pressed while holding phone to text which activates flash?

Hello Pilatebody,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about your flashlight. Two possibilities.
1. You are inadvertently opening Control Center, and enabling it. Access Control Center on your iPhone - Apple Support
2. Your phone display has an issue.
The second possibility would not only be activating your flashlight. You would notice other things opening or closing, buttons pressed not working, or for example, the letter N pressed, but the letter V, B, M or a comma enabling instead. It might also only be that section of the display you have issues with. Try texting in Landscape mode, and see if it occurs there or not.
Check the option to open control center. If it's the hardware issue, you need to have your device checked at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store.
Cheers.
