Green dot appearing without using any apps or backround apps

The green dot started appearing without using any backround applications, i know what it does, it indicates when the camera is in use, but the problem is, it is showing up without using the camera, without backround applications, i think someone is spying on me.

Troubleshooting the Green-Dot:


A. About this Green Dot:

  1. Go Here: About the Orange and Green Indicators in your iPhone Status Bar - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "A green indicator means either the camera or the camera and the microphone are being used by an app on your iPhone."


B. Close All Apps:

An app is accessing your audio. So, close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up from the bottom-left corner to the top-right cornet. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for each app.


C. Disable Camera:

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Tap: Allowed Apps
  5. Tap: Camera (so that it is dulled out)
