Is the LED Notification light missing from the S10 phone, if it is is there a workaround to get it, or will there be an update and they will add it? 

Also if it is, I am very disappointed and considering not getting the new phone.

Samsung customer service said there are NO plans to update the software since there isn't even an LED light in the former notification area.

@Geno71  I don't know why not much is being said about it, but I heard this information from an executive directly after Unpacked in San Francisco. I wanted to make sure I had an answer for the Community because I knew people would be asking about the notification light. 🙂

You heard it from an executive? Lol You have a name or any source to back that up? People have been saying that for months, doesn't make it true and Samsung already said they have no intention on changing the notification display at this time!

It has been 6 MONTHS and still no notificaiton around the camera. This can be done with third party apps, but everyone needs to know that this isn't a true LED and never will be- that bright eye-catching light you see across a room. It's only as bright as your screen, because it is acctually just drawing on a part of the screen. NOT an LED and NEVER WILL BE. Don't be misled.

I definately miss the lED notification. If this is not fixed I will go to another phone next time I buy a phone. I've been with Samsung for years. Shame they don't listen to the customers on this. I used to could see if I missed a call or had a text with out touching or tapping the screen. This is ridiculous. FIX THIS please.

That's very good news! When I get my hands on the s10+, I will set up the notification light.

@Anonymous it should be automatic. There may be an option to enable or disable though. The software hasn't push yet for me and I'm on the S10+ currently. When face recog and the selfie cam is activated though, it does spin a light around the camera briefly. I was assured that the software would be pushed by release day.

Sounds like a update is going out today to allow the Bixby button to be remapped. Maybe this is also included? We are about a week away from launch !
