How is that relevant to the OP's question?

One of my old LGs would flash an LED based on conditions and I could include the camera flash as an option. I assume he is implying that since every phone with a camera has a flash, that it could be strobed.

They could make it blink with software to notify you.

My phone (galaxy z fold 4) has this feature built in, it's under accessibility. I believe iphones can do it too.

For the fold 4, do you know if there is there a way to customize a color for each specific app?

Color? Like of the LED? There isn't it's just the camera flash
