If your phone is marshmallow and above and not recognized by xda, please forget rooting the phone

Hello, Each time I spend so much time on Instagram and stay on the app for so long, my phone touch light stops working, the rear camera flash no longer works and the touch light no longer comes on. I'm using a Tecno Boom J8 and it also happened on my former Lenovo A5000. My front camera flash still works very fine. Since last night, I have tried switching on and off, going on flight mode for a long time and removing SIM cards, nothing works. I have checked my phone settings​ to see if I can get the touchlight app but couldn't find anything cos it seems the rear camera flash and touchlight didn't come with a separate app. Since it's a nonremovable battery, I slept with the phone switched off only to turn it on this morning with the problem still persisting. What could be wrong? Is there a Qualcomm Snapdragon device that malfunctions like this or is it an MTK thing? I love my Tecno J8 and it never has been rooted and I've never ever done an upgrade on the device since I got it August last year cos I've never had a memory card at all. What can I do to resolve this issue?
