Green dot

When I open my camera there is a permanent green dot top right. I have denied access to all apps - and it’s still there? Closed all apps, stopped and restarted phone, initially green dot had gone but seconds after opening camera appeared again? It bothers me that I can’t identify what is using my camera?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Yes, it seems redundant to see the green dot when you are aware that you are using the camera, but now you will also know if one of the million or so apps available on the App Store might have access to the camera.
