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.

Where did you hear that? Any competent hacker would make sure that there was no indication the phone was hacked; you wouldn’t even see a green light.


Is this about an iPhone or an iPad? Your profile says iPad.


You can use Apple’s security analysis→Checklist: If you want to see if anyone else has access to your device or accounts - Apple Support to check out your device.


But if you are really concerned you should restore the phone and set it up as a new phone, and don’t restore a backup.
