What should you do if your phone’s flashlight doesn’t work?

• Verify that your mobile device has a battery percentage greater than 20%, because on many occasions the flashlight does not turn on because you are at 15% or lower values, here you draw wrong conclusions and think that it has already been damaged.
• Even some brands or models of cell phones tell you the following: “unable to turn on flashlight due to low battery percentage. load it up”.
• Do not use the phone for many hours, as this causes the equipment to overheat. Certain specimens were developed so as not to turn on the flashlight when they reach high temperatures, in these cases it waits for it to cool down.
• Avoid downloading external applications or APKS that turn on the flashlight by shaking the mobile, as they alter the normal operation of Android’s native flashlight. If you have done so, we recommend you uninstall them to make it work again.
• Finally, the cover or some element can prevent the light from the flashlight from coming out completely or even seeing a different color.
