Hello Tiapool,


Thank you for providing the details of the flashlight issue you are experiencing.


First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:

Restarting your device
  1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
  2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.


Resetting your device

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists, I recommend further isolating the issue by backing up and restoring your iPhone. This will help determine if the issue is due to software or hardware:
