When cold flash not working IPhone 8+

Hi djtwok,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are having some issues with the flash on your iPhone when it is cold out. I'm not sure how cold we are talking, but you may want to make sure that you are using your iPhone within the range outlined below:

Environmental Requirements

• Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
• Nonoperating temperature: −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
• Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
• Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet (3000 m)

iPhone 8 - Technical Specifications - Apple

Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures.

Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support
Regards.

I'm seeing this exact problem on two iPhone 8. We are currently at about 5°C over here and the LED flash does not work until the phone gets into a warmer environment again. There is no error message or anything.

Unfortunately Apple doesn't seem to be aware of this problem at all currently.

Hi, have the same issue with both my iPhone 8 plus, and my wife’s iPhone 8. +4 degree C.

Hope it is a software problem and Apple fixes it soon.

I’m having the same problem Apple swapped my iPhone 8+.. same problem still only seems to happen when I’m outside at night in the dark when it’s cold after my phone gets back to normal temperature flash works again .. I’ve videod it on my partners phone to take in to show Apple tomorrow as they won’t be able to see this fault with my phone unless they go outside for an hour with it at night ..

Same problém on my new iPhone x. Not flashing when i take a picture in cold outside but when i came home everything works like a charm. Very frustrated from this issue. But when i try to use torch on my iPhone x in cold weather works OK, only flashing in camera app dont work.
