How to force enable Flash in iPhone 13 Camera app

The Camera app works differently on iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max compared to older models. One of the changes that make this lineup different from older iPhones is how to force enable Flash on iPhone 13.

On older iPhones, you can simply tap on the Flash button at the top and then choose between Auto, On, and Off options for the functionality. However, in iPhone 13, the button on the top left corner of the screen only allows users to switch between auto flash and flash off modes. To force enable Flash so it works every time you take a still image regardless of lighting conditions, you need to follow a few more steps.
