How to Turn your Galaxy S22/S23’s Punch Hole into a Notification Light?

Do you want to use your Galaxy phone’s front camera punch hole as a notification LED tool? This post will teach you how to turn Galaxy S22/S23 punch-hole into a notification LED light.

Meanwhile, a few years ago, Android phones featured notification Lights that would blink, pulse, and flash in different colors to let you know you had something to check. With the shift to full-screen designs, these valuable lights have no longer extended places in the bezels. That is why you should install an app like aodNotify, which converts the perimeter of your punch-hole camera into a virtual LED indication.

The lighting modes in AodNotify allow you to use either screen edge notifications or the hole punch, and the creator states in the app’s Play Store listing that it’s low on battery use. It is compatible with the Galaxy S23 and S22, as well as the Note 20, S20, S10, Note 10, and A52 series.

5. Now you can decide whether you want the always-on display to be genuinely always on or merely on when a notice shows up. You may choose the always-on option as long as you have that option selected in your settings, however doing so involves installing another program, AOD Management.
