ELI5: Why did LED notification lights silently got removed from phone? in c/explainlikeimfive

My phone still has the LED but I turned off the feature long ago including the battery low and charge indicators. More annoying than useful.

YSK: Flossing your teeth is only uncomfortable when your gums are unhealthy in c/youshouldknow

I never had a reddit account but decided to join up here for "reasons why reddit is bad". I'm here now so hoping not to see too many of these kinds of posts, including this one :)
