Welcome to Android Central! Since the flashlight function uses the LED camera flash, it's not available when the camera is in use, since the camera app needs to control the flash.

I got a notification on LG G7 that flashlight is unavailable while camera is using flash. I was not using the camera nor the flash. I didnt even have the camera app opened at the time. Can someone take a guess as to what would cause this please?
