What red, green and orange dots indicate in the smartphone?

Many times you must have noticed a red, green or orange colored dot on the screen of your smartphone

These colored dots usually appear when an app in the phone accesses the microphone or camera

Some apps secretly use your phone's microphone or camera and put your privacy at risk

These colored dots warn you that an app is accessing the microphone or camera without your permission

You can turn off access to the microphone and camera by going to the phone settings, so that your privacy can be protected

If you see a red or orange dot in the phone, it means that an app is accessing your phone's microphone

On the other hand, if you see a green colored dot in the phone, it means that an app is accessing the camera

On the other hand, if you see both green and orange dots on the phone's screen, it means that an app is accessing both the camera and the microphone

You may also see such colored dots on the phone when location is accessed via GPS
