When you have many devices, flash notifications are the best method to keep track of incoming messages, calls, and other alerts. This feature is also helpful for people who like to keep their phone on vibration as it draws your attention to your iPhone whenever there is any notification on your device.
Thankfully, starting with the iPhone 4s, all iPhones have a built-in flash LED for notifications. But if you are still unfamiliar with this feature, this article is absolutely for you.
In this article, we’ll tell you How to turn on/off flash notifications on iPhone.
What is Flash Notification Feature on iPhone and iPad?
Apple’s iPhones don’t have a dedicated notification LED that lights up whenever you receive a call, text message, or any other alert. The optional Accessibility feature on iPhones allows a blinking rear camera flash that serves as a visual indicator for incoming notifications, which is useful for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Even if you have perfect hearing, it can be helpful to have a visual indicator of any incoming notifications in case you are in a library where you have put your iPhone on silent mode. So, this feature can be handy if you have put your iPhone on a table with vibration alerts off.
To activate the LED flash notifications on your iPhone or iPad Pro, please refer to the instructions below.
