Whatsapp is the most widely used instant messaging application in the world, an application that is conceived to greatly favor the communications that can take place between people who are even thousands of kilometers away. This application is used on a daily basis by all those who want to communicate with friends, acquaintances, clients, etc., both in text and audio format and even using calls or video calls.

The high use made of the application makes many people want to be aware of the latest news and tricks that can be applied to be able to use the messaging app in a much more efficient and practical way.

This time we are going to explain how you can customize WhatsApp notifications and make every time a new notification arrives on your smartphone the mobile flash lights up to notify you of this modification.

There are people who consider that it is something very annoying, but for others it is something really useful to be able to find out well that they have received a new message on their WhatsApp. A point to keep in mind in this regard is that it is not necessary to install any external application, but we have this possibility among the functions of the terminal itself, whether you have an operating system with Android or if you have one with iOS. In any of the cases, we are going to explain below the steps you must carry out in order to activate it on your smartphone.

How to activate the mobile flash with WhatsApp notifications on Android

In the event that you have a mobile device with Android operating system, the steps you must follow to be able to do this process and thus make the flash activate when you receive a message, you just have to follow these steps:

  1. First you must access the folder from your smartphone Settings, where you will have to look for the section of Notifications, and depending on the version of the operating system you have, you will have to go to More Settings or directly to Accessibility.
  2. When you access this you will find the option Flash LED, which you must enable so that every time you receive a WhatsApp, the camera flash is activated.

As you can see, in this simple way you can start to find out better when you receive a WhatsApp message, be it text, a photo, a video, an audio, etc., thanks to the fact that the flash of your mobile phone will light up. However, keep in mind that by doing so you will be consuming a greater amount of battery than if you do not use it.

How to activate the mobile flash with WhatsApp notifications on iOS

In the event that you have an iPhone, the process is quite similar and does not have any kind of difficulty associated with it, so in just a matter of seconds you will be able to activate this "hidden" functionality. To do this, you just have to follow the following steps:

  1. First you must take your iPhone and go to the folder SettingsConfiguration.
  2. Once you are in this you must go to the section Accessibility, as in the case of Android.
  3. Once you are in this section you will have to look for the option Audio /ADIEX, where you will find the option called Flashing LED warnings, which you must activate by clicking on the corresponding switch so that it lights up in green.

From this moment on, regardless of the smartphone you have, every time you receive a message, the camera flash will be activated so you can know it. In this way, if you have silenced your smartphone or if you have disabled the sounds of the WhatsApp application, if you have the device in view you will be able to quickly know if you have received any type of message that you should consult.

WhatsApp will allow you to silence chats and groups forever

On the other hand, it is important to talk about an upcoming functionality that will come to WhatsApp and that will allow users forever mute WhatsApp groups and individual chats.

On many occasions you will have found yourself wanting to silence a group because too many messages are sent that do not interest you, but despite this, for one reason or another, you want to remain in the group. In this situation, the usual option is to silence the group. Until now the longest silence option was to silence for a year.

This will change with future updates of the application, which will allow silence notifications forever chats and individual groups, a feature that is already under development by the instant messaging company.

In this way, once it is implemented you can see something similar to this:

it seems that your implementation would replace 1 year with always

How will you see, what the platform will do is change the option 1 year current by Always display. In addition, the possibilities to mute a video for 8 hours or for a week will continue to be maintained.

How to mute a WhatsApp chat or group

We briefly explain how you can silence an individual chat or a WhatsApp group:

  1. First you must open the WhatsApp application and open the individual or group chat that you are interested in silencing.
  2. Once you are in it, you just have to go to its options, clicking on the contact or group name.
  3. From there you can click on Silence, which will cause a pop-up window to appear on the screen in which you will have to choose between the proposed options, which are currently 8 hours. 1 week or 1 year.

In any case, if you back down at some point and want to receive them again, it will be enough for you to click on Silence so that it is deactivated and you can already receive notifications normally on your smartphone.
