Potential health hazard from Iphone

Hello,

I just a question in mind. Since the blinking light on my iPhone is an infrared light and I can’t see it. Is it safe?? Does it cause damage to skin or eye or anything since most of us use our phones most of the time.

thank you,

Blinking Light on my iPhone 13 Pro Max Hi, I just got my device 1 week ago. My friend, who has been an iPhone user for years noticed that I don’t have that light blinking on my device? I searched a lot about it but I couldn’t find any answers. I hope this Apple community will help me.

Infrared flash continuously flashes into my eyes, even with Face ID, not turned on. I am curious to know if anyone has any data regarding the intensity or wavelength The infrared flashes on my iPhone are producing? Are these wavelengths ok for vision? I do not have face ID activated on my phone and and there are bursts of infrared flashes while i enter in my code on the Lock Screen. While unlocked, The phone still flashes bursts of infrared into my eyes. I have only recently realized how often this has been happening since I installed a nighttime camera that could see the infrared pulsing into my eyeballs. I am curious, because like many of us I am always looking into my phone screen. I am hoping these bright, pulsing flashes of infrared are not damaging. My iPad is also flashing infrared pulses while unlocked and without face ID activated. The only time these flashes are not active is when a movie or TV show is playing from iTunes. Besides that the flashes are continuous while scrolling through emails, looking online and using various apps. Does anyone have any information regarding this?
