WhatsApp notification LED color not working - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

So WhatsApp lets you set an LED color for a Private message and a different color for group message, I can't seem to get the private one to work as the color i set. It shows white regardless of what color i specify.
Anyone facing this issue too?

Having same issue with s9 plus, seems a software issue as I can't find the led colour settings in the settings menu or developer options, always purple for WhatsApp and selected green in every section of WhatsApp settings

It works fine for me now. I disabled and then I enabled the led again and now the color are as should they do

No joy
Still no joy with that but thank anyway fella

I was having this issue also - no notifications, no LED, no badges on WhatsApp on my very new S9.
When I first brought the phone it was fine, and then it stopped working strangely... turns out when I went into Settings > Apps > WhatsApp - that the notifications had been changed to blocked - very weird!
Anyway, I switched that off blocked and now all works OK

Also had this issue. How to fixed:
- clean WhatsApp cache from settings-apps-whatsapp-memory
- disable and enable again led indicator in phone settings
- select led color to none in WhatsApp settings, exit to chats list, open settings again and select green color.
Done.

I did follow your idea but tried a different order
1 - Disabled LED
2 - Set LED in WhatsApp to none
3 - Re enabled LED
4 - Set LED in WhatsApp to required color
Above steps worked for me.

To test your LED, LED Disco works quite well (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolbeans.leddisco&feature=search_result)
Liteflow works perfect for me
That good I'm going to purchase the full version, as I'm missing Facebook notifications.

You have to activate it in "Settings" - "Eingabehilfe" (I think its called "input" in system section menu beneath date & clock ).
Otherwise it won't work
Turn on Settings > accessibility > Light flow

Am I the only one to encounter problem with Liteflow Lite ?
With LiteFlow activated, an annoying voice speak when I receive a phone call, a text msg or when I open a folder in AppGrid !!

Just go to settings/accessibility on your phone and disable LiteFlow
LiteFlow will still works but you won't have this annoying voice anymore

can't seem to get light flow to work either, not even the test.
For anyone getting the voice notification for opening and closing folders, it seems to be a problem with the TouchWiz interface. I changed over to Go Launcher and no longer get the voice. Just went back to Touchiz for a test and the voice is back.
I have the same issue -
I have disabled LightFlow from accesibility - and now there is NO LED light and no nagging voice (while opening/closing the folder)
If i enable the LightFlow from accesibility - LED starts working and so does the nagging voice !!!
So for now we HAVE to use the lightflow with the painfully nagging voice !
Anyone has any solution to the problem ?
I just try with lightflow enabled in accessibility service and there is no nagging voice comming from my phone...
thanks, you guys are right. LightFLow does work. The only thing I didn't get to work right now are the two white LEDs at the bottom. (I could use those with LightFlow on my Defy without BLN-mod)
But that isn't that important as the Notification LED is quite noticable
Solution to "the folder is open"
I found a temporary solution to the nagging voice.
Disable Samsung TTS and Google Text-To-Speech engine.
this will disable text to speech in all apps that use one of these two, so if your using an application that uses one of those, your out of luck.
I tested S voice and it appears to not use any of them.

Xposed LED control module not working

So I can't stand this 9 second wait in between blinks so I installed xposed framework and the LED control module.
I cannot get this working correctly? Anybody have this working successfully?
If enable per say the messaging one. When I get a message it does not work. If I turn the screen on, then back off, it will work...but obviously that isn't right.
Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks everyone!
Verizon G3, rooted
Well I finally figured it out. In the phones standard notification settings, every option needs to be checked. I had unchecked incoming calls and downloaded apps. So once I checked every option in there it is now working! Yay! Not sure why but that fixed it
Are you running the standard version only or unlocked version?
I could only get the messaging app to correctly show LED notification, i couldn't get the phone app to display LED for missed call. Could you?

In the Settings --> Display --> Advance Settings --> Notification light is it On and do you have all the options checked? (e.g. Missed calls & messages)

[Lenovo P2] LED configuration

Hey folks,
did anybody manage to get the LED light working with Whatsapp and so on? Everytime I get a message it just does nothing. With system apps it's different. As soon as a SMS comes in the LED lights up.
Thanks for the help.
LED notification -> Other Unread Notifications - > Enable
choose Color for it and you are done..
Will try and report back. Many thanks!
It works but it does not apply whatsapp individual led settings. You are however forced to stick to the setring you made in the system and not the app.

S9 LED Indicator

Hey everyone. I'm coming from phones that haven't had always on displays so I didn't really think it was necessary but now that I've turned it off I noticed that when I get notifications the LED doesn't work for anything except my work e-mail through the outlook app. No gmail, allo, hangouts etc. I've also turned off edge notification and tried toggling the LED notifications, rebooting and a bunch of other stuff. Am I missing something simple? It seems like I should be able to get an LED notification for everything even if they are the same color.
Edit: whoops i totally meant to post this in the questions forum.. if the mods could move it that would be great >_<
I've got the same issue, I can't find settings to adjust led
really would like to know this...always have the AOD off

You have to do it in the app settings by going to settings/app/ pick your app then go in notifications /notifications /importance and change it to urgent.

Sorry! Working here
Mine is working, but I noticed that there seems to be a timeout on the LED. So if I don't clear the notification or look at the message or email then LED will stop flashing ( approx 30 minutes). During that time I have opened the home screen and dragged down notifications view from the status bar, but as I said I have not cleared or viewed emails or messages
Well, i'm happy it's working for you but in my case it seems gmail app don't accept led notification at all.

Yes you are right , just tested and sent an email to my gmail account and the LED does not flash although I get a lockscreen notification . However I also use the samsung mail app to get gmail and when that synchronises with gmail, then the LED will flash.
I had a look at the settings in the gmail account , but can't see anything obvious

Yes, Samsung email app is working but take's so much time to synchronise, i hope Google will found a fix soon because Gmail app seems to have this problem with Oreo because not only Samsung phones have that issue!
I use an app called Light Flow, it allows you to set notification colours for various apps, e.g. Blue for Facebook, Green for Whatsapp. I absolutely love it, can see what notification you have just by the flashing colour
Just got S9 two days ago .
Can the Lightflow App enable the LED to flash notifications while screen is ON ...
BUT Always On Display is off. ?
I was also wondering the Lightflow App says it needs control over notifications and messages calendars etc. Is it reliable enough to not miss an appointment ?

Edge lighting - notifications

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

thank you I just seek an application like this :good:
Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

This is unbeleaveable! It really works now for missed calls with latest update.
If there will be a solution for WA too, then it is a perfect app for me.

Sent the dev a message. With he solves that, I will probably buy pro version. It's the only thing that keep me away
I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.
