Green Dot indicator is on most of the times.

The green dot to indicate Camera is being used is always on when no applications are running in the background.


When checked in control centre it says Whatsapp is using camera, but whatsapp is not open.


Tried to turn off Camera access to Whatsapp but still issue persists.


Model: iPhone 14 Pro

OS: 16.3


Please let us know if this is expected.

Disable the Camera with Screen Time:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Enter: Keycode
  5. Tap: Allowed Apps
  6. Tap: Camera (So that it is greyed-out)


Does this No Longer Occur?
