[Dee74]

I turned edge lightin on on my S10+ for Google Messages and Gmail. The lighting does not turn on when I recieve notifications for either of these apps. Anyone else experience this or have a possible solution?

The phone has to be face down

Make sure under the system notification settings that it's set to "Sound and Popup"

I am sure, I tried sending a text and email with my wife's phone and no edge lighting appeared.

I have that setting turned on for both apps.

I have that setting turned on for both apps.

Try to toggle it off and on and then reboot.

It used too yes! Now when phones off the whole screen lights up around the edge but doesn't stay on that long. You have to configure it in the Edge settings. I have mine set to do that.

Sorry but that is not a requirement. It works when the phone is face up.

Just a thought, you might increase the width of the lighting edge. If your device is in a case, it could be concealing the light.

That remedied the problem on my s9+.

I can easily see the lighting when I get a phone call so I do not think that is the problem.

Mines just works when it feels like. I have all the necessary settings turned on but I never seen it work while the phone was off even though I have it set to always work when phone on/off.

Mine has been working fine but I use Facebook Messenger a lot and it's not on the list to turn on. I didn't even see regular text on there.

I switched from Google messages to Textra and now the edge lighting works when I get a text.

Yeah it could just be that Google Messages is not supported. Not all apps work with Edge Lighting. Gmail should work tho.
