What is the green dot on my android?

The green dot that appears on your Android device indicates that the camera or microphone of your device is currently in use by an app or service. This feature was introduced in Android 12 as a privacy indicator to make users aware when their camera or microphone is being accessed by any app.

When the green dot is visible, you can swipe down from the top of the screen to see which app is currently using the camera or microphone. This way, you can stay informed about the apps that have access to your device's camera and microphone and take steps to protect your privacy if needed.

It is important to be aware of the green dot and check which apps are accessing your camera or microphone to ensure that your personal information is not being misused. You can also review and manage app permissions in your device settings to restrict access to sensitive features like the camera and microphone.
