Flashlight issues with iOS 9

Close all apps, hard reset (power + home) then flashlight started working again for me.

Thanks – worked.

But a day later it does it again. I have had to hard cycle my phone now 3 times since moving to 9.0.. Feels like this is a new bug... Anyone else seeing come back over and over again?

Same issue here, a simple re-boot resolved it... We'll see how long for!

Also facing same issue. Almost need to hard reset twice a day...

Same thing is happening to me with the 6S Plus and iOS 9.0.2. Every few days I have to restart the phone because I can't access the flashlight. The camera and flash work fine when the flashlight is disabled surprisingly.

Yeah, same issue. But simple restart solved the issue.

Same issue here, have had to reboot nearly every day just to get it back.

Thanks for the tip. It worked perfectly!

Same issue. Sure am tired of rebooting. Happens at very inconvenient times!

I did this, performed a hard reboot, by instinct, the first time the problem happened. Flashlight starting working again. But the problem returned - TWICE more. Never had this problem with any prior versions of iOS or iPhone. This must be a bug that needs to be corrected soon.

I believe that one of the reasons that this happens is if your camera app is open your flashlight will be greyed out so you can't use it.

The software's way of saying you can't use the flashlight if your about to take a picture.

I think I solved the issue when I disable de LED Flash for Alerts, this is in General>Accessibility, after this I haven't had the problem. Apparently is a bug in this feature. Hope this help all.

My story is the same as you. As a "techy" type of person I instinctively went to the reboot. I have to 100% agree, it gets very old and inconvenient. Still having this problem with my iPhone 6+ and iOS 9.2.

Is there a fix yet to keep from needing to reboot to keep the flashlight handy?

Other than downloading another app.
