On One UI 8, Samsung’s path for adding an effect is Settings > Notifications > Notification pop-up style > Add lighting effect. Menu names and available options vary by model and software version.
Choose where the alert should light up
Samsung’s built-in options do not require a separate notification light or accessory. Pick the one that suits how you want to notice alerts:

- Lighting effect: Adds a visual effect around the screen or camera cutout. Depending on the software, it may appear under the older name Edge lighting.
- Camera flash notification: Blinks the rear camera flash.
- Screen flash notification: Flashes the display.
Samsung says Galaxy S10, Note10, and newer models do not have a dedicated notification LED; these software features are alternatives. Samsung’s US guidance on Edge lighting and LED notifications describes the options.
