The flashlight on iPhone comes from the LED light located next to the camera lens at the back of your device and is powered by iPhone’s camera flash mechanism.

By default, the Flashlight Icon should be available in Control Center and all that is required to switch on the Flashlight is to open Control Center and tap on the Flashlight icon.

The Control Center can be accessed even if your iPhone is locked, which makes it really convenient to switch on the Flashlight in an emergency.
