iPhone X flashlight doesn't work - that's the reason

The flashlight of your iPhone X is powered by the lamp that is also responsible for the flash of the camera. If it does not turn on, restarting the device or resetting your iPhone X usually helps. If the lamp is defective, it can be replaced.

What to do if the iPhone X flashlight doesn't respond?

The iPhone X's flashlight uses the same lamp that is used to create the flash when taking photos. This is located on the back of the device right next to the camera lens. If the flashlight does not turn on, there are several possible causes. Test all solutions to the problem to rule out a hardware defect. If the light is permanently damaged, you can have it replaced by Apple Support. The investment is worth it for new devices, since you can then also use the flash of your camera again.

How to fix the problem

1. Restart your iPhone X.
2. Try to take a photo with flash. If that works, you know it's still functional.
3. Disable the power saving mode.
4. Check if there are any software updates pending. To do this, open the settings and select "Settings" > "General" > "Software Updates".
5. Reset the device to factory settings. Führen Sie vorher eine Sicherung Ihrer persönlichen Daten durch.
