Samsung decided to ditch the Notification LED on the S10 series & That didn't please everyone!

There's an app which attempts to use the light ring around the camera to provide Notifications - But Samsung is reportedly ALSO working on using the light ring around the camera - which would be very good news! 

Apparently Samsung intends to push an update to enable this.... at some point in the future πŸ‘

Personally the absence of the Notification LED is a big deal for me.

My biggest gripe is however Samsung's decision to BLOCK 3rd party Themes such as Substratum & THAT'S an even bigger deal for me! Sorry but Samsung themes S U C K! They are more expensive than Substratum Themes & they don't Theme 3rd party apps!! (mini rant over). 

See the attached screenshot & link to the video regarding the intention to use the light ring around the camera for Notifications πŸ•ŠοΈ

that's great news, and I 100% agree with what you said about substratum and the theme store.

Does that mean I bought Substratum for nothing? Oh well I haven't used it for months anyway.

I wish that kind of information about future features would be published.

Yes definitely. Better than "Your device's security has been improved"

Just curious. What is the 'ring' used for now? I was thinking there must be a way to use it as the notification LED but I dont have the S10 to check. Also, just my thoughts, but if you have AOD do you really need the notification LED?

I really hope we see this sooner than later. I really like the fact that it will be in various colors just like the notification led did before!
