Are you the kind of person who doesn’t has his or her iPhone in the hand all the time? Well good for you. While not having your iPhone in your hand or pocket can help in cutting down your screen time, it also means you have a higher chance of missing important incoming messages.
Good thing is you can change the way your iPhone notifies you of new messages and alerts by enabling the Flash on Silent feature. When this feature is turned on, your iPhone will blink the back camera’s LED Flash whenever you receive new messages while the device is on Silent mode. This way you can know when new notifications are pending without getting vibration feedback or tone alert.
