Musical notification of a call is not always convenient, while a visual one, that is, with a flash, is sometimes simply necessary. Such tools will come in handy for users with a hearing impairment or people doing some specific work where it is not possible to hear the ringtone in the surrounding noise.

It is enough to open the phone settings, go to the "Accessibility" section and find the "Hearing" item in it, after - "Flash notification", activate the "Flash" slider.
Apple Devices
As for "apple" devices, starting from the fourth generation of gadgets, the ability to make a flash when calling on an iPhone is provided by default. We go into the settings, go to the "General" section, then open "Accessibility" and activate the slider on the "LED flash for warnings" item.
The only thing worth clarifying is that you can make a flash when calling on an iPhone only for the blocking mode. That is, in this state, it will work as it should, but when the screen is activated, alas, it turns off. Other indications work in a similar way: missed SMS, alarm clock, etc.
