    My guess it is cheaper to do software features rather than a physical led … cutting costs at every corner

      Every phone has an LED for the camera flash.

        How is that relevant to the OP’s question?

          One of my old LGs would flash an LED based on conditions and I could include the camera flash as an option. I assume he is implying that since every phone with a camera has a flash, that it could be strobed.

            My phone (galaxy z fold 4) has this feature built in, it’s under accessibility. I believe iphones can do it too.

              For the fold 4, do you know if there is there a way to customize a color for each specific app?
