To turn off the black box when typing: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards and Typing > Hover Typing, Off.

To turn off the flashlight for alarms: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual, then turn off LED Flash for Alerts.

And another BIG THANK YOU!!!!I. I had my SE phone for 6 plus years…. And when I upgraded this January I got the 15 …. So when I was try to kinda set my new phone to most of my choices from the old phone… as I got into settings….

OMGEEE…. Almost ALLl the settings have become soooo nuanced, YIKES…

lol it’s Veryy Very confusing ! Especially since when I was 6 years younger than today…. My brain operated a lot better and the phone I had gotten then was also a younger model ( and therefore Simpler) then what was the currently the model of that year!Thank you again and have a great evening or night (or maybe Day? LOL😁) I will definitely come back to this site for help again cause I know I’m gonna probably goning to mess up some settings or other! Bye👋🏼
