Safety Light helps you be seen and find your way.

The Strobe and Blink modes flash rapidly; if you or anyone nearby is sensitive to flashing light or has photosensitive epilepsy, please avoid them. While the light is on, the screen stays awake and uses battery, and can warm your phone during long use.

The call
