      The most bullshit thing ever. I have a Moto 5g Ace, I was sad it didn’t have a light, used it for a couple years before putting LineageOS on it. Low and behold it actually has a notification light that was disabled in the stock ROM! WTF

      Isn’t having an OLED display and using it as an “always on display” the replacement for this?

      The notification light for me was never all that useful, i have unique ringtones for everything but i do agree they are an awesome feature for folks in spaces where their phones need to be quiet

        I liked them, if not just because there’s no reason not to have it. It was always subtle and functional.

          Why can’t the camera “flash” be used for this? IOS has settings for it in accessibility features.

            You know? That’s a good question. I wouldn’t think it would be very hard to just do a minor redesign of the flash LED to do that.

        The flash pattern and frequency were set different for email, sms and other. On mine at least. It was really handy not needing to turn the screen on at all.
