Get a Flash for Notifications
Audible alerts are great, but you have to be able to hear them. Depending on your job or lifestyle, that’s not always the case. You may work in a noisy environment or frequently find yourself in a meeting or classroom that requires you to silence your phone. Instead of listening for your alerts, you can configure your iPhone to visualize notifications thanks to this accessibility feature in iOS.
- Go to the Settings app and find the option for Accessibility.
- Select the Audio/Visual setting and turn on the toggle for “LED Flash for Alerts.”
- Once enabled, each notification will trigger your camera to flash in response to a notification.
This flashing type of alert is advantageous when you are in a darkened room or outside at night.
