The iPhone 15 may be loaded with Apple’s latest tech, but no device is immune to glitches. One issue we’ve seen from users lately? The flashlight stops working—either not turning on at all or flickering unexpectedly.
If you’re facing this issue on your iPhone 15, here’s everything you need to know about the possible causes and how to fix it.
🔦 Common Flashlight Problems on iPhone 15
- Flashlight icon is greyed out in Control Center
- Flashlight button doesn’t respond when tapped

🧭 What’s Causing the Flashlight Glitch?
The flashlight on your iPhone is tied directly to the rear camera system and power circuit. If something goes wrong in one of those areas, the flashlight may stop functioning. Here are some typical causes:
1. Camera App Conflict
If the Camera is in use, the system may temporarily disable the flashlight.
2. Software Glitches or iOS Bugs
A corrupted update or unstable app may cause the system to stop sending the right signal to the LED module.
3. Overheating Protection
If your iPhone 15 is too hot, the flashlight may be disabled automatically to prevent further heat buildup.
4. Hardware Damage
A drop or water exposure can damage the LED flash or its connection to the logic board.
