Where is the Flashlight app on iPhone 12 Pro Max?

There used to be a flashlight app and icon in the control center, but there isn’t one now in iOS 18. Is it gone from everywhere except the Lock Screen or can I access the flashlight from the Home Screen or other apps?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18

It didn’t disappear, but iOS 18 did add more customization for the Control Center. You can add it back by tapping the + in the top left corner of the Control Center, tapping Add a Control in the bottom, then search for Flashlight and add it back. There never was an app for the flashlight.
