NEW DELHI: If you are an Apple iPhone X or iPhone XS user and have often wondered how your smartphone’s LED flashlight turns on without you doing anything, you are definitely not alone. Several iPhone X and iPhone XS users have taken it to Apple’s discussion forum, talking about it. Although this is not a bug and something that is triggered by users itself, what’s bothering iPhone users is the placement of the flashlight button at the main lock screen. At the time of writing, over 500 users complained about it on the Apple forum.
The accidental triggering of the flashlight on iPhones not just make the customers a centre of attraction but also drains out the handset battery drastically.
“The flashlight keeps on triggering in my pants front pocket. It drains my battery and I end noticing the light is on when the phone becomes very hot. How can I remove this short cut from the lock screen?” complained one of the users on Apple discussion forums.
However, some even suggested a couple of solutions. While one of them said to turn off 3D Touch to stop the accidental triggering, the other one said that people can turn off Tap to Wake feature.
“What's happening is as your phone is being jostled as you walk, the screen is becoming active. Turning off Tap to Wake would fix this without you having to remove the flashlight,” says one user. You can turn off this feature by navigating through Settings > General > Accessibility > Turn off Tap to Wake.
So no matter how much the accidental triggering of the flashlight annoys you, there doesn’t seem to be a solution coming for this from Apple. For now, the firm seems busy in rolling out the fix for the Group FaceTime bug. We will also be witnessing the next-gen iOS version, iOS 13 getting introduced.
