Use Edge lighting on your Galaxy phone
You're about to get a perfect combo in a game, but a notification pops up and blocks the screen. There goes your score. With the Edge lighting option, you can enjoy fewer interruptions. This feature will make the edges of your Galaxy phone light up whenever you receive a text or notification, instead of sending you a push notification.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and phone model. Edge lighting may not work with third-party apps.
Edge lighting settings
Note: Edge lighting is on by default.
Try Edge lighting when you’re in the zone and want minimal distractions. From Settings, tap Notifications, and then tap Notification pop-up style.
Maybe you only want Edge lighting to activate at certain times to help save battery. No worries, you can customize when it will appear. Tap Brief, and then select from the following options:

You can also tap Detailed at the top of the screen to view detailed notifications.
Edge lighting styles
Besides fewer distractions, another benefit of Edge lighting is that you can change the color or style of the lighting effect.
