Why is my phone telling me i can't use my flashlight while camera or other app using flash is on?

[Android Central Question]

It's clear i don't use the flash in any other app and my camera app isn't in use.

Some other app has "control" over the camera module. As the flash and camera are a single module and permission, if one app has control over that module another can't use it. What you need to do is figure out what app is taking control of that module.
