Never green, always blue. So you are saying that it just signifies that I am using the camera app. Can't say I understand the purpose of having that little light since it is obvious I am using the camera but there is probably some technical reason. You have answered my question. Thank you MrHoffman!
The green indicator signifies the camera hardware is in use, and the camera app and select other apps do use the camera hardware.
There is an orange indicator when the microphone hardware is in use, and the phone app and select other apps do use the microphone hardware.
Apple calls the indicator colors green and orange. The orange icon will show as red on some orangish screen backgrounds. I’d expect the green might also shift, depending on the background.
See the previously-linked status icons and symbols document for the Apple indicator documentation.
