      Hi all-

      I've recently discovered that the Pixel 3a does not have a notification light. That is- there is no small blinky light that tells me there is a message awaiting to be read.

      I assumed all phones had such, so i never even considered this when i bought the phone.

      Anyways, is there a workaround or an app or something? Or am i stuck double-tapping the screen to wake it up periodically to check if i have a message?

            Right, but what i'm asking is whether there is an app that effectively does the same thing. For example: an app that will flash the screen every few seconds if there is a message waiting for me.

                @Fizz Any such app would eat away at your battery life... not sure you'd be happy or better off with that.
