HI Cris, I completely understand what you are saying about the annoying flash light and the camera. I have the exact samething on my XR phone 12.2, and lock screen, and when I put my phone in my purse, sometimes the flash light comes on, and I lose quite a bit of my battery, but I don’t know this until I take my phone out of my purse, and the phone is extremely warm. When the flash light is on, my phone is all lit up, and as a blind person, I only know this when a sighted person is around, and they tell me Janet you must have the flash light on because your phone is lit up like a Christmas Tree, and then I realize that is why my phone is so warm! I then check my battery, and sure enough, I’ve lost quite a bit of battery! I don’t need the camera on the lock screen either because when I go to my home screen, there is the camera as well. This drives me crazy, and I’ve asked other people how to remove the flash light, but I never get an answer. I didn’t have this when I used my iPhone 6 either! I’ve looked all through my phone, but I can’t find anything about the flash light or how to remove it from the locked screen. This causes to much battery loss! I’m constantly checking my phone when the phone is in my purse to be for sure it doesn’t feel warm because the flash light might be on again, because I don’t want to have to try to make a call, but the battery is drained! Janet

Hi Sieghard, I am not talking about the control center, I am talking about the locked screen. Unfortunately I have both the flash light button and the camera button on my iPhone XR using iOS 12.3. I wish I could at least remove the flash light button. It happened quite few times that I turned the flash light on as I put the phone in my pocket. Sometimes just a simple light touch turn it on. I would only realize that the flash light is on when I feel my pocket heating up or if someone tells me to turn the flash light off.

Hi Chris, I am a bit confused here, I don’t have either Flashlight nor Camera on the lock screen. The Camera can be accessed from the lock screen if you do a 3-finger swipe from right to left, but even then there is no Flashlight unless maybe you have the camera’s flash turned on permanently which of course you can change, you can set it to come on automatically or not at all. The actual Flashlight as far as I know can only be turned on either by asking SIRI or by swiping up to the Control Centre and then you do of course have both the camera and flashlight buttons there. Do you maybe mean the Control Centre instead of the lock screen? As far as the Control Centre is concerned you can in fact decide what is on it or not, just go to Settings > Control Centre > Customize Controls and select or deselect the items you want or do not want. You can definitely take the f;lashlight and camera off if they are on the Control Centre.

Hello folks, Does anyone know how to remove the flash light and the camera buttons from the locked phone screen? As you know, when the phone is locked, the flash light and the camera buttons are still accessible. I do not want them to be there. Very often, as I put the phone in my pocket, my finger touches one of them by mistake and activates it. That drains my phone battery out. The other day while I was in the train in the underground, Someone alerted me that my phone flash light is on because he can see strong light coming out of my pocket. It was funny in a way, but also annoying. I looked through all the phone’s settings to see if I can remove these buttons but I was not able to locate the setting to hide these buttons from the locked screen. If anyone knows how, I will extremely appreciate it. Regards, Cris -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
