Your iPhone 15 Plus is designed to perform effortlessly—whether it’s capturing moments or lighting the way with its built-in flashlight. But what happens when that flashlight refuses to turn on?
This guide breaks down the reasons why your iPhone 15 Plus flashlight might stop working and what you can do about it—before it becomes a bigger problem.
⚠️ Is This What You’re Seeing?
If any of these sound familiar, you’re likely dealing with a flashlight malfunction:
- Flashlight icon is greyed out in Control Center
- Light doesn’t respond when tapping the icon
- Flash doesn’t work while taking photos
- Flashlight worked earlier but now is completely dead
This isn’t just an inconvenience—it could signal a hardware or system-level fault.
🔍 Top Reasons Why Flashlight Stops Working on iPhone 15 Plus
The flashlight in your iPhone 15 Plus is powered by the same LED used in the rear camera system, and that means a wide range of possible issues. Here are the most common:
1. Camera Interference
If your camera is open or stuck running in the background, the system may block flashlight usage to avoid conflicts.
2. System Overload or Crash
Too many apps running or a crash in the control layer can cause the LED module to become unresponsive.
3. iOS Glitches
Software bugs—especially after an update—can affect how the flashlight responds to user input.
4. Water or Shock Damage
Even if your iPhone seems fine outside, a drop or splash can internally affect the flash module or flex cable.
5. Power Management Failure
A faulty battery or power IC can disrupt the current needed to activate the LED.
