Flashlight keeps turning on after latest iPhone update

I’ve been having problems with my phone since I downloaded the newest update. One of the problems is my flashlights just keeps randomly turning its self on. I’ve already gone in to my settings and turned it off in all the possible place, but it keeps turning on. How can I delete it and go back to the previous version

Do you have the Flashlight shortcut on your Lock Screen? You can remove it from the Lock Screen if you want. Also, do you regularly carry your iPhone in your pants pocket? You may be waking your phone, and then tapping the flashlight shortcut inadvertently. You can stop this behavior, by opening Settings > Accessibility > Touch - turn OFF Tap or Swipe to wake. going forward, to wake your iPhone, you'll need to tap the side power button to wake your phone, but if you carry your phone in your pocket, this may be a better option for you.
