Help Notifications not shown anymore when display off

[him175]

Galaxy S10

I need help, usually when I got a notification and the display is off, an icon of that app would still show so I always know if there are any new notifications or not. Recently this stopped though, so I have to turn on the display to see if there is anything. Very annoying. Not sure what the reason could be, but I updated a bunch of apps recently, but can't remember if the issue only appeared after...

Hey, it's a galaxy s10 (added the info now). Unlike older models, the function where the light keeps flashing is gone too.. soo inconvenient!

I don't have this device, but I'd check your always on display settings (also called Ambient Display) or lock screen (which, on my Pixel running Android 11, is where this stuff is now rather than in a separate place).

But I'm not expert on this: I decided that I didn't care for always on displays (and that the little icons weren't much use to me) and turned it off 4 years ago. But my phone is old enough that I still have a notification LED, which I always found more useful but which manufacturers have decided we no longer want (and, as is often the case, have all followed each other so there is no choice in this available any more).
