Keeping up with notifications can be challenging, especially in noisy environments or when your phone is on silent. Luckily, Samsung offers a useful Camera Flash Notification feature on the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra.
This setting makes your phone’s camera LED flash whenever you receive a call, message, or app alert, ensuring you never miss an important notification. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to enable Camera Flash Notifications on your Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra.
This feature is particularly helpful if you often work in loud environments where you can’t hear your ringtone. If you prefer visual alerts over sound or vibration, it might also be best to utilize it. Flash notifications ensure that you’re visually aware of a new or incoming notification. The camera and screen enable you to have this functionality, when they each flash whenever there’s a new notification.
