iOS 26.2 is coming next month<\/a>, packed with changes for Apple\u2019s system apps, and also a hidden new feature for notifications that can help ensure you don\u2019t miss any alerts.<\/p>\n iPhone display can now flash brightly for notifications in iOS 26.2<\/p>\n Last week, the first iOS 26.2 beta arrived and brought a lot of new features. Highlights include Reminders\u2019 \u2019Urgent\u2019 alarms<\/a>, AI-generated chapters in Podcasts<\/a>, Apple News design changes<\/a>, and offline lyrics<\/a> in Apple Music.<\/p>\n If you dig into the Settings app, you\u2019ll also find a new option for notifications.<\/p>\n iOS has long allowed users to trigger the camera\u2019s flash when a notification is received. This is a great accessibility feature for the hard of hearing, but it\u2019s also just a nice option to have that I\u2019ve seen plenty of users take advantage of.<\/p>\n Now in iOS 26.2, Apple has added a similar, but distinct feature: you can now have your iPhone display flash brightly when a notification comes through.<\/p>\n To enable the feature, open Settings and go to Accessibility \u21fe Audio & Visual \u21fe Flash for Alerts.<\/p>\n Here you\u2019ll find the existing option to use an LED Flash for notifications, as well as the new \u2018Screen\u2019 option. If you\u2019d like, you can even choose \u2018Both\u2019 to get the maximum effect.<\/p>\n When \u2018Screen\u2019 flash is enabled, notifications will cause the iPhone display to fully light up for a brief moment before reverting to normal brightness. The effect is especially noticeable when the always-on display isn\u2019t activated.<\/p>\n I wear an Apple Watch and get all of my notifications via haptic taps, so this feature isn\u2019t for me. But for anyone without a Watch, the new iOS 26.2 option for screen flashes might be a nice alternative to the LED flash.<\/p>\n Are you interested in using iOS 26.2\u2019s new screen flash for notifications?
