LED indicator question

[Beheima]

How do I get the led indicator to blink when my phone screen is on? On my s7 if I was in an app, let's say YouTube, and I got a whatsapp message, the light would blink until I cleared the notification. Now the light only blinks when I get a notification when my phone screen is off.

That's the normal operation - if the screen is onyou see the notification on the screen.

I never had a device that would blink it's led while receiving a notification with screen on. I can't even imagine this behaviour exists at all. My former Galaxy S7 Edge definitely didn't as my present S9 Plus doesn't. I am curious though. Is there a chance you might be mistaking?

That was probably a software bug. Led shouldn't be blinking while the screen is on, it's pointless and distracting.

Use an app like Light Flow. once you find that, then check out the similar app suggestions in the play store. I used to use light flow in the past, before notifications were on lock screen, and before owning a smart watch.
