Your camera flash isn't working
Restart your phone and check camera app permissions. If the phone was warm recently, it can have disabled flash as a safety feature. Wait 15 minutes and try again.
Camera flash uses the phone's LED light, which can fail due to software glitches, overheating, missing permissions, or hardware faults. Most issues fix with a restart or by checking app permissions. Overheating automatically disables flash as a safety feature — it will work again once the phone cools down.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
