How to Customize Edge Lighting Notifications on Galaxy Phones

If you want to ensure that you never miss an important notification on your phone, adding a flashy feature may be the ideal solution. There are instances when we miss crucial notifications because we didn’t hear the sound or our phone was on silent mode. In such cases, a visual animation can come to the rescue. LED notification and edge lighting are examples of such solutions. If you happen to own a Galaxy Phone, this guide is specifically for you. I will explain how you can personalize the notification lights on your Galaxy phone.

While some users prefer the stock design, many, including myself, enjoy customizing their phones. With a plethora of customization options available, it’s important to take advantage of them if they prove useful. And if you own a Galaxy phone, the customization possibilities are endless.

One of the interesting features of Galaxy phones is the Edge Lighting Notification. This feature illuminates the edges of the phone when a notification is received, even when the screen is off. It has been a part of Galaxy devices for many years and has undergone significant improvements since its initial launch. As a result, there are now numerous options available for customizing the edge lighting.

Without any delay, we will dive right into the steps.

Personalizing Edge Lighting on Your Galaxy Phone

Activate Edge Lightning

1. To access Settings on your Galaxy phone, open the app.
2. Go to the Notification section and select Notification pop-up style.
3. Select the section for the Edge lighting style.
4. In the effect section, you must select a lighting style that appeals to you. This will determine the areas of the display where the effects will be applied, excluding edge lighting.
5. Tap on Done. The animation will begin when a notification is received.

Select a Color for Edge Lighting

To customize your Edge Lighting and the Notification that appears near the punch hole camera, you can also choose your preferred color. Here’s how to make the change:

1. To access the Edge Lighting style settings, navigate to Settings > Notifications > Notification pop-up style.
2. To access the Colors tab, simply switch over to it.
3. You have the option to either select the Auto function or manually adjust the color.
4. The final swatches icon provides you with the ability to select from a vast array of colors.
5. After choosing your desired color, click on Done.
6. Next, navigate to Color by Keyboard. This feature allows you to customize the color of individual titles and words. Simply type the desired word and then select + to choose the color for that word.
7. Whenever a notification containing that specific word appears, the screen will illuminate with the color you have previously chosen.

It is not possible to set the notification color through the App, but this could serve as an alternative for customizing notifications using various colors.

Adjusting Edge Lighting Duration

Selecting an effect is a fairly straightforward process.

1. To access the Notification pop-up style, open Settings and navigate to Notification.
2. Next, navigate to the Edge lighting style option and select the Advanced tab.

To ensure a longer battery life, I prefer to keep the duration to a minimum.

1. Download the ‘Notification light for Samsung‘ application onto your Galaxy Phone from the Play Store.
2. To begin, launch the app and carefully follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
3. Once you have reached the home screen of the app, make sure to activate the toggle for notification preview.
4. In the Notification option, you have the ability to select which apps you would like to receive notifications from. Additionally, you can also opt to display animations for battery activity.
5. The Notification Light allows you to personalize the style, effect, size, and length of the LED notification.
6. There are numerous additional options that can be customized, such as color. You have the ability to adjust everything according to your personal preference.

Therefore, this is the method for manually activating the LED Notification on Samsung devices. Samsung users can also discover various intriguing customization tutorials here.
