Flash Alert: Call, SMS & Torch

Flash alert for calls, SMS and app notifications: your phone's flashlight blinks when someone calls or writes, so you never miss it on silent, in a noisy place, or when you can't hear the ring.

FLASH ON CALL

• The LED flashes while the phone rings and stops the moment you answer, decline or miss the call

• Call flash works in silent, vibrate or normal mode: you choose which

• Works with the app closed and after a restart

FLASH NOTIFICATION FOR SMS AND APPS

• A short flash alert when a text message (SMS) arrives

• Flash notification for all apps you pick: WhatsApp, Gmail or any other app

• Flare only sees which app sent a notification. It never reads your messages

YOUR FLASH, YOUR STYLE

• 6 blink patterns: Steady, Double tap and SOS, plus Heartbeat, Party and Wave that unlock for 24 hours with a short ad

• Set the speed and how many times it blinks

• Screen flash in amber, white or green, plus three more colors you can unlock, for phones without an LED flash (when the phone is unlocked)

• A Test button to see your flash alert straight away

SMART RULES

• Choose which ringer modes flash: silent, vibrate or normal

• Flash only when the screen is off

• Quiet hours, so nothing blinks at night

• Stops when the battery is low

• Stops as soon as you pick up the phone

LED FLASHLIGHT AND TORCH

• One-tap flashlight and torch light, with brightness control on phones that support it

• SOS mode and a strobe light mode

• Quick Settings tile and home-screen flashlight widget

WORKS ON YOUR PHONE

Some phones stop apps in the background, which breaks flash alerts. "Check my setup" shows what is missing and fixes it in one tap, with step-by-step guides for Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Oppo, Vivo and Realme.
