Just turn it on from video mode in the camera app then quit the app..


Instantly fixed the issue for me without having to reatart my iPhone.

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:
