Make iPhone LED Flash for Incoming Calls

Introduction and iPhone Requirements

The iPhone's ringer and vibration features will almost always alert you to an incoming phone call. However, if you're iPhone is set to vibrate only and the iPhone isn't situated so you can feel it, or if your iPhone is set up to ring only in a loud area, you may miss phone calls from time to time. To help prevent from missing an important phone call, you can set the iPhone's LED display up to flash when you receive a phone call. The flash is bright, quick and will catch your eye if your iPhone is within viewing distance and you have a call coming in. Only an iPhone 4 or later model iPhone running iOS 5.0 or later can enable this functionality. This functionality works in combination with any other incoming call alerts on your iPhone, such as ringing or a vibration, and does not disable any of those features if its enabled. You can set your iPhone up so that the LED screen flashes when you receive an incoming call through the smartphone's Settings app.
