Flashlight not on iphone 8 Plus 16.6.1

I do not see the flashlight icon when I swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

However, when I go to Control Center, Flashlight is there, but I can't figure out how to make it show on the screen above




Windows, Windows 10

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting Missing Builtin Apps:


A. Reset the Home Screen Layout:

If a widget or app has gone mossing somehow, then you need to reset the Home Screen Layout...

Go Here: Move and organize apps on iPhone - Apple Support

You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back


B. Try This - Disable then Enable Cameara:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Enter: Keycode
  5. Tap: Allowed Apps
  6. Tap: Camera (So it is Green-Colored)


C. Restart iPhone:

Go Here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Getting a Lock Screen to Show as Set:


Tap "System Services":

So, what happens when you tap System Services? Does it then show up?
