There is a growing number of users has reported that the flashlight on their iPhone X, iPhone XR and other ones seems to turn on by itself. I’ve noticed that many times with my XR even when after pulling the device from my pocket.
I don’t remember having this issue with my camera button.
I would be glad to remove the flashlight icon completely from the home screen because this bug is very annoying.
Reports from other users:
- Having an iPhone X makes me feel like an old lady because I’m always accidentally turning on my flashlight
- My fav feature of the new iPhone is how simple it is to accidentally turn on the flashlight
There is no way to remove the flashlight button from the lock screen and no information if Apple is working on a fix.
