Flash Alert turns your camera flash into a powerful visual indicator whenever you receive a call, SMS/MMS, or notification from another app (WhatsApp, social media, etc.).

Key Features: - Customizable flash alerts for calls, messages, and apps. - Contact filtering: enable the flash only for your contacts. - Battery-saver mode: smart deactivation if the phone is face down or if the screen is already on. - Night mode and "Do Not Disturb" override options. - Ambient noise detection (for compatible Android versions).

A lightweight app, privacy-friendly, and completely ad-free.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
