iPhone X Torch showing up under battery usage

[Ffosse]

On the whole, I'm happy with my X's battery life but I don't understand how the torch could have been using any power. It's not set to blink when I get a message; I haven't taken any photos with a flash and, obviously I haven't been using the phone as a torch. What could be causing this?

On an 8+ here, but I also have 2% indicated for the torch and have not used the LED in anyway.

A mystery for sure.

Unless it's referring to the infrared sensor on the front used to unlock the device...but that wouldn't be the case with the 8+. A real mystery.

Have you guys used the iPhone's LED to light something up?

Nope

No Torch on my X going back the 7 days.

A tad off-topic but does this screen (being Settings > Battery) anywhere show you how much battery you're left with (percentage) when you've got the X, or do you have to start swiping?

Apple...

Nope

How new is your iPhone?

Absolutely zero use of the LED.

Someone else reported a similar issue several days ago.
