What Is Flash Alerts?

Flash Alerts is a visual notification app that uses your phone’s flashlight to notify you about incoming calls, SMS messages, and app notifications.

Instead of relying solely on sound or vibration, Flash Alerts provides a bright visual signal whenever someone tries to contact you.

The app is designed for people who:

• Keep their phone on silent
• Work in noisy environments
• Prefer visual notifications
• Need additional accessibility support
• Want more control over phone alerts

Why Use Flash Alerts?

Many people miss important calls or messages because:

• Their phone is on silent
• They cannot hear notifications
• The environment is too noisy
• Vibrations go unnoticed
• The phone is in a bag or on a desk

Flash Alerts adds a visual layer of communication, helping you notice important notifications more quickly.

Perfect for Silent Mode

Flash Alerts is especially useful when your phone is muted.

Instead of relying on sound, your phone’s flashlight becomes a visual notification system that helps you stay connected without disturbing others around you.

Accessibility-Friendly Notifications

Visual alerts can be a valuable accessibility tool for users who prefer visual notifications or who have difficulty hearing traditional ringtones and notification sounds.

By combining flashlight notifications with standard phone alerts, Flash Alerts provides additional awareness of incoming communications.

Customize Your Notification Experience

Everyone uses their phone differently. Flash Alerts gives you flexibility to customize exactly how you receive notifications.

You can decide:

• Which events trigger flash alerts
• How often the flashlight flashes
• How long each flash lasts
• When alerts are active
• Where alerts should be disabled

This allows you to create a notification experience that matches your daily routine.
