This ensures that you do not miss important Calls and Messages, when you are in a meeting or in a loud place with a very high noise level (Stadium or Theatre).
The disadvantage of enabling LED Flash Alerts on iPhone is that your device will keep flashing, even if you are getting comments on your social media accounts.
LED Flash Alerts make use of the Camera Flash on iPhone, which can drain the battery life. Hence, make sure that you disable LED Flash Alerts, when this feature is not required.

Many times we put iPhone on Silent Mode during important meetings and forget to switch on the ringer, even after the meeting is over.
To guard against this common problem, you can enable LED Flash Alerts for Silent Mode on iPhone, which ensures that you do not miss important calls and messages.
1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual.
2. On the next screen, scroll down and enable Flash on Silent option.
This will automatically make iPhone Flash its LED light, whenever it is placed in silent mode.
LED Flash Alerts Not Working on iPhone
You need to be aware that LED Flash Alerts work on iPhone only when your device is Locked. You won’t find your device providing flashing alerts when it is unlocked or being used.
LED Fash Alers do not work, if the Text Tone and New Mail Tone have been disabled on your device by selecting the “None” option under Sounds (Sounds & Haptics) section.
Also, if your iPhone is paired with Apple Watch, it will not flash or blink, even if LED Flash Alerts are enabled.
