No notifications light

[acsurfer]

Hi,

Q1. By default are the people using these phones below is it they will not be able to know missed call/messages if they do not touch their phone? (unable to know just be looking at the phone because no led blinking)
Q2. Do these phone below get vibrations or short sound for missed calls/messages?
Samsung S?? Ultra (models with pen)
Samsung A??
Iphone (all models)

It seems like around 2018 when phones started to remove the home button and become full screen, there is no more led notification for missed call/messages by default and need to install some app to show some light for missed call/messages, correct me if I am wrong.

My samsung phones are set to buzz when I pick them up if I have missed a call or text.

I know it's hard for a lot of people to understand or accept, but the vast majority of people just don't care about the notification LED... they know there phone has notifications, it ALWAYS has notifications lol.

Do everyone here with no notification led phones always pick up the phone to check if there are any new incoming missed calls/messages?

Phone in bedroom, go toilet/kitchen for maybe 15mins, come back to the room and you will pickup the phone to check for missed calls/messages?

Older samsung phones with notification led, it seems much simpler to just glance at the phone to see if there is any blinking led to know if there are any missed calls/messages.

Any iphone users here? Do iphone users all pick up the phone to check for missed calls/messages frequently?

How long does your buzz last? What is buzz?

If I set my samsung to vibrate, when I have a missed call/sms I need to pick up then it will vibrate once once I pick up. The thing is I still need to pick up the phone, no so productive.

The last time I had an LED on my phone was back in days of Blackberry. I've aged alot since then but I certainly don't miss the LED notification light.
As stated above, the notifications are always on the shade.
You've only got to look at it.

it's a short vibration, like you mention yourself. Speaking personally I don't miss notifications, because I wear a smartwatch. I'm also apparently not as paranoid as you seem to be about missing calls, if I don't see a missed call for an hour I don't really care that much...

I'm also a milenial so the idea of going more than an hour without picking up my phone is confusing and disturbing to me lol., ,

I really miss that blinking LED for new incoming missed calls/messages. But unfortunately, nowdays smartphones no longer support this feature.

Does iphone have blinking LED for new incoming missed calls/messages? It seems like iphone users are happy to always touch their phone to check frequently for missed calls/messages.

Same here.... although I do still miss the notification light on my original pixel The light used a lot less battery than AOD.

Many of us use smart watches now. These are now the best way to keep track of notifications. Mine is always on my wrist, except when charging once per week.
With vibration and a pracie of the text it beats any LED or AOD.
