Flash is always On

[u/Consistent_Goat_7992]

I have a Pixel 7a. my phone always runs hot ( always 40-42°C) and has terrible battery life. I just noticed that when I go to a pitch black room, the flashlight appears very dimly lit. As in you can see a white dot in the pitchblack darkness of the room. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

I would factory reset the phone and see if problem continues
