How can I remove or edit the flashlight and camera from the lock screen on iphone 14? My phone keeps turning on the flashlight and/or camera when i put it in my pocket or hold the phone. It happens a lot and burns up the battery. This is a poor design.

Since you keep your phone in your pocket, it would be advisable to turn off Tap to Wake. Open Settings App. Tap Accessibility. Tap Touch. Turn off Tap to Wake. Once you do this, you'll need to tap the side power button to wake your iPhone screen. But you will no longer accidentally open the camera or flashlight.

Thanks. I've tried but that hasnt stopped these from turning on when I have the phone in my pocket. I'll let Apple know but what they have done is a real design flaw.
You cannot remove those options from the lock screen.
You might want to try going to Settings>Display & Brightness>Raise to Wake and turning that off.
You can also let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
If you have Always on Display enabled, you may also want to turn that off.
I don't experience this issue with my iPhone 15 Pro (nor did I with my iPhone 11 Pro). I am always careful to lock the screen before putting the phone down. Also, if you're putting the phone in your pocket, put the screen facing out.

Ah, I always forget that one! Thanks.
You're welcome. For those who keep their phone in their pocket or a purse or really any place that jostles while moving about, the Tap to Wake feature is really the only setting which will stop unwanted taps from doing things like getting people locked out for entering their passcode incorrectly or turning on the flashlight or camera.
Remove flashlight and camera buttons from lock screen
