Hello ibadra,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
We understand you have a question about why your iPhone showing a green dot while locked, and we'd like to see if we can assist you.
Does this happen when picking up the iPhone? Take a look at the following resource: Control access to hardware features on iPhone, "Whenever an app uses the camera (including when the camera and microphone are used together), a green indicator appears. Also, a message appears at the top of Control Center to inform you when an app has recently used either." That’s found in the section, “Review or change access to the camera, microphone, and other hardware features”.
Here's how to get to Control Center: Access and customize Control Center on your iPhone and iPod touch
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Cheers!
