Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?
lud@lemm.ee 1 year agoThey don’t mean flashing the flashlight. They mean a small (often RGB) LED that’s usually next to the front camera.

It does the same thing. That’s just nitpicking.

No, not really.
One is an annoying fairly bright flash on the back of the phone and the other is a small dim LED that mainly shows information passively by shining constantly until a notification is addressed or acknowledged.
The notification LED can be seen decently by just glancing at your phone at any time, the flashlight actively interrupts you and is useless if you didn’t see it when it blinked.
They serve different purposes.
