Activate the camera flash on iPhone with Face ID

The iPhone X, 11, 12 and 13 phones have Face ID and the design of the camera application is slightly different from previous iPhones. On these devices, turning on the flash is a bit confusing.

The first thing we will do is open the Camera application and switch to “Photo” or “Portrait” mode. We press the arrow in the form of a caret that is located in the upper central part of the screen, if we are with the iPhone vertically; in case we are holding the device horizontally, it is on the left side..

This will open a new menu on the opposite side of the screen, located just above or to the left of the white shutter button. Many icons will appear, we will have to press the flash icon, which is shaped like a lightning bolt.

After pressing the lightning bolt icon, another menu will appear near it with three options: Auto, On, and Off. If we choose auto, the iPhone will use the flash when we are in a dark place. If we choose "Enabled" it will be used whenever we take a picture..

Once it is enabled, we will see a special flash icon that is a yellow lightning bolt on the screen. If we want to deactivate the flash, we will have to repeat the previous steps or simply click on the lightning bolt icon.

Enable Flash on iPhone with Touch ID

Turning on Flash on an iPhone that has a home button and Touch ID is pretty quick and easy. First we are going to have to open the Camera application and we will have to make sure that we are in “Photo” or “Portrait” mode. In the corner of the screen we will press the flash icon that is shaped like a lightning bolt.

After clicking on this icon, a new menu will appear. We will click on “Auto” so that the flash fires when the camera app detects that there is little light. If we always activate it, then every time we take a picture, it will be done with the flash.

While it is active, we will see a yellow lightning bolt symbol at the top of the screen. If we want to deactivate it, click on the icon and we will have the options available to put it on auto, on or off.
