IPhone – Why does the iPhone flash when I receive a message

iphone

After the recent iOS upgrade, my iPhone flashes every time I receive a text message, and I can't find a way to turn it off. I checked the setting but there are no options where I can disable it from flashing. It is very annoying.

Best Answer

This is a feature introduced with the iOS 5 update.

Accessibility improvements:

  • Option to light LED flash on incoming calls and alerts for iPhone 4S and iPhone 4
  • Custom vibration patterns for incoming calls on iPhone
  • New interface for using iOS with mobility-impairment input devices
  • Option to speak a selection of text
  • Custom element labeling for VoiceOver

You can change the setting in Settings -> General -> Accessibility options:
