New in version 2.6.6
- Fixed a startup and notification crash on Android 9 devices (#60).
- Fixed English language fallback on multi-locale devices and updated translations (#59).
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.
