How to Fix"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Many users have complained that the flashlight on their iPhone accidentally turns on by itself. This happens while their phone is locked and, often, while it is in their pocket. On the iPhone Lock Screen, there is a (non-removable) flashlight button; the problem seems to be that this button gets accidentally pressed while in someone&#8217;s pocket. It is definitely an annoying sort of problem &#8211; cluelessly walking around with light beaming through your pants &#8211; and there is the secondary problem of battery drain caused by the flashlight being on for long periods of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iphone_flashlight_on-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iphone_flashlight_on-1.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Flashlight Turns on\" class=\"wp-image-16849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iphone_flashlight_on-1.jpg 790w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iphone_flashlight_on-1-400x216.jpg 400w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iphone_flashlight_on-1-768x414.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flashlight problem, which has been around for a few years, is not the only &#8220;by itself&#8221; issue that people have had with iPhones. Recently, iPhone 12 users have had problems with their <a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/silent-switch-randomly-turning-on-off-on-iphone-12\/\">Ring\/Silent switch turning On\/Off<\/a> in their pockets or bags. In this article, we will tell you what you can do to prevent your iPhone&#8217;s Flashlight from turning on by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to Turn Off Flashlight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, if you find your flashlight on, you can do one of the following to turn it off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>On the Lock Screen, press the Flashlight button.<\/li><li>On the Lock Screen, touch the screen and swipe your finger slightly to the left.<\/li><li>From any screen, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open Control Panel, then use the Flashlight icon in Control Panel to turn off Flashlight.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prevent your Flashlight from Turning On (by itself)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of settings you can change which should take care of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Off Tap to Wake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn off Tap to Wake, go to Settings &gt; Accessibility &gt; Touch. Toggle the switch next to Tap to Wake. There is, of course, a downside to turning off Tap to Wake. A lot of people use this feature pretty often; anytime you want to quickly check the time on your phone, especially if you check the time while you are in bed, you just tap the screen. With Tap to Wake turned off, you will need to press the side button to wake your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"tap to wake in settings\" class=\"wp-image-16839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-400x180.jpg 400w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-1536x691.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tap_to_wake2-2048x922.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Off Raise to Wake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another setting you might turn off is Raise to Wake. As the name suggests, Raise to Wake wakes your iPhone when the iPhone is raised to an upright position. You might imagine a pocketed iPhone going through that kind of change in orientation when you go from sitting to standing. To turn off Raise to Wake, go to Settings &gt; Display &amp; Brightness. Toggle Raise to Wake to OFF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1472\" src=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"raise to wake in settings\" class=\"wp-image-16838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-400x230.jpg 400w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-1536x883.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/macreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raise_to_wake-2048x1178.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For more on iPhone &#8220;wake up&#8221; settings, see <a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/iphone-x-wake-up-settings\/\">iPhone X Wake Up Settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/iphone-system-haptics-what-they-are-enable-or-disable\/\">iPhone System Haptics, What They are, Enable or Disable<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/your-iphone-gets-hot-why-and-how-to-fix\/\">Your iPhone Gets Hot?
