Facebook now lets users control the colored lights on their devices. These lights appear around the camera. The lights show when apps use the camera or microphone. Some users found the lights distracting. Others worried about privacy.

Users asked for a way to turn these lights off. Facebook listened. The company added a new setting. This setting is inside the Facebook app. People can find it in the Settings menu. Look under “Preferences”. Then find “Notifications”. The new option is called “Camera Indicator Light”.
Turning this setting off stops the colored light. The light won’t show during Facebook calls. The light won’t show when recording videos. The app still works normally. The camera and microphone still work. The light just stays off.
This gives users more control. They can choose what works best for them. Some people want the light for privacy. Others find the light annoying. Now they can decide.
“We heard users wanted control over the indicator light,” a Facebook spokesperson said. “This update gives people that choice. It’s simple but important.”

Facebook often updates its features based on user feedback. This change addresses specific user requests about device lights. The indicator lights started appearing on devices recently. Many apps use them.
