Like most smartphones, iPhone users can set ringtones for incoming calls or texts or make their phones vibrate upon receiving a notification. However, these options aren’t helpful for those who’re deaf or hard of hearing.
Apple has added an amazing feature to iPhone that flashes the LED when a notification is received, which helps users with mild to profound hearing loss to stay alert and not miss any notifications.
If you have a hearing problem or just want to play around with this cool feature, here’s how to make your iPhone’s LED flash when you receive a call or text.
