not sure what the option does but the iphone will probably never have a led because apple doesnt like them for some reason..

I enabled it wondering what it does someone eventually will bring light on it

The LED Notification setting will flash the camera flash on the back of the phone whenever a new notification comes in to the phone. Unlike the Blackberry, it will only flash when the notification comes in. It won't continue flashing.

The LED light on the back of the phone flashes when you have notifications. But it only flashes when the notification notifies. It doesn't continuously flash like a blackberry.

Edit: I responded too late

Will have to try it, but if the phone is flat on a table you won't see it right?

**StaticFX** · 10-14-2011, 02:31 PM

Unless its dark that's even more point less with a white one what gave them the idea to use that if it doesn't even blink continuously

**organix** · 10-15-2011, 01:45 PM

That kind of sucks. The light is pretty useful.

How do I get my camera icon on my lock screen like all the ios 5 pics show? I looked under the notification section and can't find camera.

On the lockscreen, click the home button twice.

It was created for deaf people.

if your not being sarcastic, he's right, its under the accessibility menu where if someone can't hear they can see it blinking...

Looks like a battery waster

**jerome g** · 10-16-2011, 12:59 PM

Would waste more if was continuous

**xolovechelsea** · 04-02-2013, 03:01 PM

It took me about 5 minutes to figure this out. It's says 'for alerts' so you have to go into your notifications and choose an app and make the alert style an alert. Banners won't work.
Ex. Settings > Notifications > Messaging > Alert Style; Alerts.
When you have your phone locked your phone flash light will flash super fast. I hope this helped

My daughter uses that feature on her i5. I don't use it on mine because my phone is never faced down to see the notification.
