As the title states i left my iPhone 14 flashlight on for an hour by accident because my hand accidentally turned it on from the lockscreen and without knowing and i came back after an hour or so and i saw it was on. The phone was a little warm but not anything crazy and my battery dropped a few percentages. Would this damage anything seeing as it was on for so long?

Thanks.

Short answer: no

Long answer: your phone will temporarily disable the flashlight before it has a chance of causing damage to your phone. I’ve only noticed my flashlight getting disabled when my phone gets decently hot from gaming.
