The world-famous manufacturer of mobile devices Apple is famous for its special attitude towards people with disabilities. The devices of this manufacturer are maximally adapted to the needs of such people. The functions of Apple smartphones are adjusted to various physiological limitations.
But, oddly enough, such functions can be useful for healthy people. For example, many iPhone owners note the convenience of visual notification of an incoming call or SMS - a message that is manifested by a blinking flash when called from another subscriber. This article will show you how to turn on the flash on your iPhone. And to begin with, we note that this feature can be activated on the iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and other models of "apple" phones.
For the first time, LED flash was introduced into fourth-generation iPhones, and only then - into the iPhone 5S model and many other versions of gadgets. The flash on older iPhones (3rd and earlier) was missing. However, those who wished could buy an additional flash for the device - an accessory that, when connected to the device, replaced the flash on the iPhone. It was a kind of prototype of modern ice technology.
But the iPhone version 4 flash was already built-in. And subsequent devices also began to be equipped with this element. The LED began to be located on the back of the smartphone next to the camera. Its main function is to maintain the required level of illumination when shooting photos and videos. But not only that - the ice flash also performs other important tasks, which will be discussed later.
How to turn on flash on iPhone
By default, incoming calls on iPhones are accompanied by a polyphonic melody and vibration, which are created by an incredibly small vibrating motor. Gadget owners can select any track to put it on a call, as well as set a specific vibration to any contacts. For most users, this variety of functions is quite enough, but others want to emphasize their individuality even more. Another way to alert a call is very fast. This will be a very bright signal when calling a subscriber and receiving an SMS message.
So, to turn on the flash on the "apple" phone and set it as an alert when you receive an SMS or an incoming call, you need to do the following:
- Go to the menu of your mobile gadget and go to the main settings by selecting the accessibility section.
- In the hearing section, click on the warning flash switch.

The optical call indicator is especially useful for people with hearing loss or deaf and dumb people, but for everyone else it will be a unique feature.
However, it should be noted that the indication will only work if the gadget's display is in a locked state. Otherwise, when incoming calls are received, a notification will appear on the screen and the flash will not blink. But, it is quite clear that in such a situation this is not necessary. Thus, the manufacturer has carefully considered the use of this feature on the iPhone, although it is not the most important. In the described situation, the battery charge is significantly saved.
Such blinking can be quite useful in life, because sometimes we listen to loud music and many other situations. Let's see how you can enable and disable this feature.
