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

Have the same problem on iPhone 8 Plus! Apple, can you reply on our problem?
Apple has replied that there is no fix and the phone simply can’t be used if it’s below 32°.
Call them.
Oh man that are bad news
It does not work at 5-6 celsius degrees. I tested it. The 0 celsius is absolutly impossible.
Same situation with my Iphone 8+: Flash isn´t workin on cold days...
IOS 11.2.5 still same bug, no flash even +5 outside
The same problem! The flash doesn't work at about 6 degrees Celsius! The quality of apple is getting worse and worse!
yes I have this problem too...its my first time that I buy IPhone and what a awful experience.... I try to sell it and come back to the samsung....I never use iphone again⚠
iPhone X is the same.
I use my iPhone 8 regularly especially at work. I've not experienced this. I use it in the cold a fair amount too.
So odd how it's affecting some but not others in cold to colder climates....
Has anyone found a fix to this problem yet?
Mine wont work slightly below, around, or even slightly above zero.
I cant believe Apple isnt doing anything to solve this problem, its so frustrating.
Same issue here, no flash working outside in cold weather... trying to shoot some photos in the snow and its dark..... going inside getting warm it works again !!! iPhone X
iPhone 7+. Had the same problem today. Wanted a timer and the timer didn’t count via flash nor did he go off when finished
I have the same problem. I can see a little light, when I make a picture with flashlight. When it's cold, the flash on a photo doesn't work. The flashlight (not a photo) does work.
When cold flash not working IPhone 8+
