HTC Desire 816 Camera flash not working

I tried making space and restarting. The camera works but the flash on it doesn't and it's getting really annoying. Please help! thanks

Welcome to Android Central! Try installing a flashlight app. If the flashlight app doesn't work, then your LED flash is probably faulty. By the way, when you select a flashlight app to test things out, make sure it's one that only has Camera permissions. Flashlight apps tend to have lots of unnecessary permissions, because a lot of those apps carry various kinds of adware and other unsavory stuff.

The 816 comes with a flashlight app so you shouldn't have to download one.
Of course if you've unlocked your phone your flashlight and calculator apps have been deleted so here you go.
