Green dot sometimes, after WhatsApp call, is always on

Alex-12, 

Do you find this happens when using other video calling apps such as FaceTime? Are you having to force quit the app to have the green dot stop showing?

Hello Alex-12,

The green indicator would mean that an application on the device was using the camera. In this case, it looks like the application "WhatsApp" was the last thing that used the camera.

About the orange and green indicators in your iPhone status bar

If you want to stop an application from using the camera, you can disable access by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera, and turning off the toggle switch for the apps you do not want to have access.

Cheers!

Hi!

I have the same issue. The green indicator remains on even after the video call. WhatsApp can be closed, denied access to camera and microphone but the only thing that removes it is restarting the phone. It is absolutely inconvenient as you might have guessed.

Typical Meta. Use something else?

It should go away if you force close the app (drag it halfway up then swipe it off) The worrying thing is that camera may actually be open. Turning on the actual camera and closing it may help but fundamentally think about Facetime or Skype til Meta sorts it out.

Their duty is ensure their apps work with iOS16.3.1 on that 14 Pro, not the other way round.

Best advice for problems with apps not written by Apple is to contact the developer

Sorry to bother but did they fix this problem？

Thx

Did they verify whether or not whatsapp uses the camera and mic when the dot is on (after the video call) or its just a visual bug?
