    Anyone know what setting in the camera app disables the torch? A couple of days ago I could take a photo with the torch on, but now when I launch the camera the torch gets disabled.

    Which device? My pixel greys out the torch toggle when the camera is on. You can't just use video with torch on, or use your flash?

    Happens with photo and video. Flash works.

    Disable flash in the camera app and try again?

    Same with flash on/off/auto in rear photo mode. The phone torch toggle works in selfie mode. In video mode it's disabled on the phone but there is a torch toggle in the camera app itself.

    Weird, this is a new problem.
