Even I have seen this in my friend I phone X. but my phone doesn't show. is this any problem ? or this is normal?

I saw the video. Again, the human eye can't see Infrared Light on it's own. What you're seeing is perhaps the sensor in the camera used to record the video may have been able to record the light, but on your own, you CANNOT see it.


Let be as clear as possible. On iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and the upcoming iPhone XR, the Infrared Light will not visibly blink and you CANNOT see it do anything.


I hope this clarifies this for you.
