Are you sure? That's in the OS, not device specific.

Settings > Lock Screen > Always On Display.

I've come to prefer the AOD to the LED. And I came from years with BlackBerry where you lived by that LED.

A quick glance and you know what notifications you have waiting by the icons lined up. Envelopes for email. Text box for texts. Phone icon for phone calls.

If you have more than one email account, some email apps can pass that color to the AOD and you can see which account an email is from. I use green for work and blue for home. But not all email apps do that. Outlook doesn't and neither does Samsung's own stock email app ironically. But the BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox email app does, and that's what I use.

Any idea why I am unable to find AODnotify in playstore in my phone?

I click on the developer Jawomo in my phone playstore it has fewer apps than what I see in the url of windows pc chrome (in windows pc chrome i search for AODnotify i can see it but in phone playstore app i search for AODnotify cannot find it), screenshot https://i.imgur.com/HfTW0Ft.png

That likely means it's not compatible with your device. If you log in to your google account on your PC and it won't let you install it to your phone from there, then you'll know for sure.

Followed your steps, does not have AOD https://i.imgur.com/Ec3K682.png
Saw someone said "No, it has a LCD, so, unlike with a OLED (like your v30), if one pixel is lit, the entire backlight is on, so a AOD would use the same ammount of power as just leaving your phone on the lock screen with the brightness turned down." https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/ne6pk3/does_the_a32_5g_have_aod/

You are correct. It is not compatible with my device, I log in to my google account on my PC and it won't let me install it to my phone from there. https://i.imgur.com/4DI0Fx5.png

Thanks

One thing can see if available on your device and might come in handy is setting>accessibility>advanced>flash notification

I have the camera flash notification, tried it not really useful because it only flash during the incoming call and nothing after a missed call, I can see the lighted up screen more easily during incoming call instead of the camera flash which is not that visible during the day (phone on table).

What about screen flashing for notification?

Do not have screen flashing for notification this row of text. Only have camera flash notification text in your screenshot.

Actually, I have the S20 FE. But I looked up your phone and somewhere I read the A32 had an AMOLED screen, but checking again, I see that's wrong. It's a regular TFT LED with that fully lit backlight.

So, yeah, I guess it would not have AOD. That would kill the battery in just a few hours.

I suppose AODNotify wouldn't work because it's designed to work with the AOD screen. If there is no such thing, then... guess you're out of luck.

Found an app called True Edge that works similar to notification led, screen will show some light after a missed call/message until I touch the phone.

Google play does have AODnotify. As a Realtor I need to KNOW when I miss a phone call or text and do not want to wear a smartwatch. My RN daughter "stole" mine. She likes it because it works for her being on the floor. So anyone who doesn't understand why we want notifications doesn't work in a field like we do when we have impatient customers. And we do have to go to the bathroom sometimes. Will see how it works as this has been a real issue for me having to check my phone every time I walk away.
