Still I wonder sometimes that why there’s no a timer for a flashlight. This might sound a little odd. But there may be use cases like, I wear a headset and play games, while my iPhone is charging, I need to be notified via flashlight alert, or, I might need my flashlight to be turned off automatically after a min or so.

Ofc, these can be created with the Shortcuts app, but why not as an option!

Thats a good idea bro. temporarily we can manage it with shortcuts as you do already, but yes apple may consider it in future releases. do submit your feedback to apple to increase the chances of making this happen.
