iPhone 16 plus front video flash not working

My iPhone 16 Plus doesn’t offer a flash option for the front-facing camera when recording videos. However, I can use the front-facing video flash on apps like Instagram or Snapchat, but not in the default iPhone camera app. The flash option is available for taking photos with the front camera, but it doesn’t appear at all when switching to video mode. Anybody else having this issue?

Using Flash Camera While Recording a Video:

You Can't. What you are trying to perform is not a feature of iPhones, as of this reply. The flash toggle is hidden once you start to record.


So, Recommend this to Apple:

Do your Part: Being of no option, let apple know what feature(s) you want to see addedApple wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear of this, the more they will know what their customers prefer and what features need to be added. Apple will know nothing of your ideas, if you don't report it to them.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple

  3. Comment: that you think this should be an option and why., Include the URL of this thread.
  4. Proceed from there as necessary
