Iphone 14pro flashlight turns on by itself without opening the app

2 to 5 times a day I'm having to open up the flashlight app to turn it off. It's not back tap, I'm not opening the app. I'm not mishandling the phone.

Hello Smachiavidi,


We understand you have a concern with the Flashlight app on your iPhone opening without your input. You mentioned already checking a few settings, which is good. Since you have an iPhone 14 Pro, another one to test to see if it helps is the Tap or Swipe to Wake.


  1. Tap Settings.
  2. Open Accessibility.
  3. Disable Tap or Swipe to Wake.
  4. You will now wake to unlock your iPhone with the side button.


See how that does for you. If you still have feedback on this app and settings, we'd encourage you to submit feedback to Apple at the official online form here: Product Feedback - Apple


Take care.
