Janet, have you contacted Apple Accessibility to address this problem with the flashlight?

Hi Cris, Thank you for this, but I already have raise to wake turned off. I also have tap to wake turned off, but still the flash light can still come on if I accidentally put my phone in my purse the wrong way, and a few hours later if I take my phone out of my purse, it is extremely warm, and that is how I know the flash light has been on since I put the phone in my purse. This is so annoying! I still just don’t get what is the whole point to having the flash light on a locked screen! Guess I’ll never know as it makes no sense to me, now, if I wanted it on my locked screen, I would add it to the locked screen.

Hi Janet, I guess for the time being, and until apple decide to listen to customer’s wishes, the only advice is to change two settings on your iPhone. First you go to settings, and go to display and brightness and turn raise to wake off. The second is to go to settings, general accessibility and turn tap to wake off. This way, once you lock your phone, you won’t be inadvertently activating the camera or turning the flash light on as you put the phone in your purse or take it out.

Hi Keith, Thank you for this, as I searched and searched, but I couldn’t find anything related to the annoying flash light or the camera. Again thank you as now I can stop beating myself over the head trying to find or figure out how to get rid of this! I still don’t understand the whole purpose of having the flash light or the camera on the locked screen though, but I guess this is what Apple wants and what Apple wants Apple gets regardless of what customers might want!

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.
