How to enable flash LED alerts for incoming calls and texts on iPhone

Though flash LED alerts are an optional Accessibility feature for individuals who may be deaf or heard of hearing, you can also enable them if your iPhone’s speaker is not working and it cannot announce incoming calls and texts. It is also a useful feature if you tend to miss audible alerts in a noisy environment or if you tend to keep your iPhone’s ringer off.

LED flash alerts will flash the LED next to the camera lens on the back of the device, giving you a visual cue for incoming calls or notifications. Here’s how to enable flash LED alerts for incoming calls and texts in a few easy steps.
