Hello heleneraf,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that the flash on your iPhone X is not working properly. I would be happy to point you towards a resolution.

Here's a resource that could help:

Specifically, follow the steps in this section:

Your flash isn't working

Use Control Center to test the LED flash. Turn the flashlight off and on. If the LED flash doesn't work as a flashlight, contact Apple Support.

If the flash isn’t working, or it goes off every time you take a photo, check your flash settings. Tap User uploaded file in the upper left of the screen to choose a different setting.

If you take extended video with the flash on, or you’re using the device in a very warm environment, you might see a message that says the flash is disabled. The message remains until your device cools down.


Cheers!
