Since yesterday my backlight or flashlight started to have an orange color. This happens at random and sometimes the backlight has the normal color.

Is this a new hidden feature or a glitch.

It is a good idea to have different colors in the backlight and with led technology this is easy for Apple to do.

I think you might be talking about True Tone?

Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > turn off True Tone.

True Tone changes the backlight color to orange at random?

Here is a photo of the orange color of the backlight or flashlight.

When I got this color it goes back to the normal color after I turn off the flashlight.

The flash has 4 LEDs of differing white levels, so a bug must be making only your warm LEDs turn on
