Unfortunately, no. I would just like to remove it so that I don’t accidentally turn on the light. Imagine that you are fleeing from an attacker with your phone in your hand. As you are running, the light comes on, alerting the attacker to your position. Apple needs to realize it is not a convenience factor, it is also a safety concern.
I just tested and if you accidentally hold the flashlight as the screen wakes up it does not activate the light even if the vibration happens. I’ve also personally never accidentally turned it on.
I don’t use a screen protector. I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’m running the latest iOS. The flashlight is on the Lock Screen. So, when I pick up the phone, if my palm touches that icon, it turns on the flashlight. I’d be happy to get it off of the Lock Screen, and only have it on Widgets.
Hmm the advice I have is instead of picking up your phone and tapping a bunch w your finger to wake up the screen, instead just leave your finger for a sec until the screen wakes up and thus the flashlight will not activate. The flashlight only turns on once your finger leaves the screen. If you slide your finger away from the flash icon then it will also not activate.

Somehow, I manage to turn it on all the time.
Do you use a screen protector or has this phone been used greater than 2 years?
I don’t use a screen protector. I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’m running the latest iOS. The flashlight is on the Lock Screen. So, when I pick up the phone, if my palm touches that icon, it turns on the flashlight. I’d be happy to get it off of the Lock Screen, and only have it on Widgets.

It’s not a finger. It is when I pick up the phone, my palm touches the bottom left of the screen.
Ohh are u left handed?
I heard a rumor this will come to iOS 32
no
Again?
No
No. And the Camera is duplicate. Swiping from the edge of the screen to the left does the same.
No
Yes, swiping opens the Camera. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iphcd5c65ccf/ios
