[@designcoordinator5743]

how to turn off green dot but still you can use the camera...or app can still use the camera. just need to disable the green dot

[@epicstyle1000]

someone suggested Go to Developer options > Status bar location indicator and toggle it off, then reboot

[@whoami234]

I don't even use a camera and the green dot still appears

[@Originalxlander]

​@@whoami234Then your device camera is being rat'd

[@user-iz2ps8kn5t]

Thank you very much I was seeing the green dot camera in my new update. I think it's scam or someone take my picture from front camera.. Now its done because of you. Thank you love from🇮🇳

[@evadeplayerxoxo]

Actually it shows whether if someone is recording or looking at you, I recommend keep it as it can alert you whether if someone can see you or hear you.

[@KnightWithAnAssaultRifle]

Keep the green Dot on and if you want to turn off the camera access when you are not using it then in the control panel there's an option called "camera access" just turn it off

[@manilyn24]

​@@KnightWithAnAssaultRiflehi I still have green dot here...how to remove this

[@yukierblx]

​@evadeplayerxoxo bro rlly?? Bcs it keep appears all of a sudden :/ but it was when I was listening to smt. suspicious.

[@InGodwetrust-n4y]

​@yukierblx someone is listening in on you when the green dot is on and it's probably someone u know, take it to a place that sells phones and tell them or call your phone provider

[@AMJOSEDIDEXE]

It works... Turn the sensor on the sensors off button as of he says... Then last step try to launch the camera app. Green dot goes away. But when ever you need to access camera turn off the sensors off. Just do on off to stop all other apps accessing your screen & mic.

[@Nijaz1993]

WARNING! DO NOT DO THIS STUPID TRICK! IT WILL TURN OFF ALL SENSORS INCLUDING THE SCREENS BRIGGTNESS AND YOU WILL HAVE A PROBLEM. TRUST ME!

[@israt2005]

Did you try this before ?

[@rodneyzoo]

Thanks for these instructions. However, on my Oneplus 6T on Lineage 21, I now get a system icon in my status bar that shows sensors are off, which I don't know how to hide 😣 update: I turned off status bar location indicator as a solution.

[@rayhinto]

I want to turn off the green light, not the cam...

[@adelalgomaie]

Me too. .

[@abhishekahirvar7783]

Same Did you guys found anything useful

[@thomeri1540]

Exactly like he said follow the steps and the green light with turn off 👌👌👌

[@lorrieellis002]

But didn't he say it would turn off your camera also?

[@fanibacsi2918]

Exactly. What a stupid video is this

[@stephanie2069]

Does this affect anything else that I should be aware of ?

[@killergod1199]

Nope ,, it just tells you about your camera or microphone is being used . Tbh its good tho.. because when you're on home screen or not using any app which usses your camera or microphone but still if you're seeing it on the notification bar then you can just tab on it and check it that which app is using your camera or microphone. Its for security purpose

[@ninanihad-lb9us]

​@@killergod1199so it dose not mean that someone is spying on me ?

[@yukierblx]

​@@killergod1199huh ok

[@InGodwetrust-n4y]

​@@killergod1199what about if the green dot us on only when talking on the phone?

[@escapedgoat5865]

[@muthaflocka8754]

go to settings > about phone > then scroll down until you find "Build Number" and tap on that 10 times and you will unlock developer options. then go to System > and you will find developer options there

[@teodortodorov6974]

Settings > about phone > software information and tap build number multiple times

[@elizabethserrano6695]

[@xavierkiller3015]

Just restart the phone , it will disappear

[@chrisyap1212]

This is no good in having changed closed shut the green dot off My phone whatsapp voice recording n rotate landscape are not functioning In no sound n rotation watching utube

[@shnoopx1383]

Alternative solution: Search for a nice brick wall. Than take your phone in your hand and throw it agains the wall, as hard as you can. That should turn off the dot forever. Every single Video and or Article about this topic tells the same stupid story. "Turn off all your Phone featured, that way the Dot will not appear." We do NOT want to turn off our Mic, our Camera or GPS. All we want is, that the stupid dot is NOT VISSIBLE when we use an app. The feature iteself is nice, but do NOT show this stupid Dot all the time, when I play a game, watch a movie or do anything else in landcape mode. It's ANNOYING. Wbr, shnoopx

[@blackwasp9285]
