For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    The notification light would also let you know what type of notification it was by colour on my old Samsung Note.

      Wait they took that away? I have an S9 and I rely on this to know whos messaging me. Blue is textra, purple is whatsapp, white is insta, green is signal.

        I had an S8 a couple years back and upgraded to an S10 when it first came out. The notification light went away and it was a huge bummer. I now have a Pixel 7 and it doesn’t have it either, so I’ve learned to live without it.

      An app called aodNotify brings this back for you if you don’t have an iPhone. May take a little tweaking to get everything how you want but it’s very customizable

        Is there anyway to use this without having the full always on display? Having all of that, which includes notifications, sort of defeats the purpose

          I had an always on display that illuminated the outside of the display when I received a notification but otherwise stayed off, and I’m on iPhone, so I can’t imagine you don’t have more options on android than I did.
