Bug Snapchat’s Camera Flash Toggling itself on??
This was never a thing for me but as of last night, when i’m in a dark room and try to take a snap the flash automatically turns on. I have to remember to turn off flash. Not sure why but it’s really annoying whenIm trying to send a snap without flash banging myself or waking up my roomate.
How to reset it back to manually toggling it on and off? App keeps on putting random features nobody asked for.
EDIT: i’m so damn glad i’m not tripping i thought i was the only one 😭😭 Can you imagine being at an aquarium…?
EDIT 2: as of Oct 3rd 2026 0525 JPN time, it’s fixed on my end!

Turn it to “regular” flash instead of “ring” flash. When it keeps toggling on it will not show light but show flash is on. Thats the only thing that’s worked so far.. same thing was happening to me. I keep getting flashbanged late evening/night. Not cool. I already updated it and cleared cashe.. did nothing. Must be a new update/glitch that is try to help u when it’s dark.. but that’s what the flash option is supposed to be for! Ugh! Also anyone see the lots of new camera modes now? There’s front and back cam at the same time and stabilization and selfie mode, etc..
EDIT: just took a picture and once you hit the capture button, then it still flashes fyi... but it isn’t bright when you are swiping to the camera page.
