iPhones are one of the most popular smartphones in the world. They have a lot of features that make them stand out from the other flagship-level Android devices. iPhones are known to have the best cameras on any smartphone.
There is only one particular feature that has been missing on the iPhone since its inception is the led notification light on the front of the phone.
However, to make up for this you can customize the LED light that Apple provides with the camera to notify any incoming calls for your benefit.
LED lights that are attached to the cameras are primarily used to click photos in dark conditions and to prevent the red-eyed image which could be clicked on your photo.
But the excessive IOS functionalities allow you to change the settings in such a manner that you can easily turn on the flashing LED light in case you get an incoming call or even messages on your iPhone device.
If you own an IOS device and have no idea how to make the LED light flash for calls and messages there is nothing to worry about since we would be providing a step-by-step guide in order for you to solve this issue.
To summarise the solution, you firstly need to go to the accessibility feature set on your iPhone, and then later on there is an option of turning on the LED Flash alerts.
After this, all the new receiving calls and alerts will be accompanied by a flash blink a couple of times.
The best part about this feature is that in case you do not hear the notification of iPhone beeps on your device, you will easily be able to spot the strong and bright LED Flashlight that comes accompanied with it.
