14 pro max camera stays on after whatsapp video call
Sometimes when any application is using camera, after closing it , the camera indicator is still on. Is there any problem with OS or some app is using it in background?

Hi there raghuvirdav,
You'll want to make sure you're fully closing the app after the call to be sure the camera is turned off. Follow these steps to close an app on your iPhone 14 Pro Max:
1. From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.
2. Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app.

If the camera still appears to be on after fully closing WhatsApp, you'll want to make sure your iPhone is fully updated to the latest software version, which is iOS 16.3. You can check that in Settings > General > About > Software Version. If needed, learn more about updating your iPhone here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Next, check the App Store for any updates that appear for WhatsApp and make sure you've installed them. This link provides more information about updating apps: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support
If the issue persists after trying all the steps above, reaching out to the app developer is the next best course of action. They're best-equipped to take a closer look and provide additional guidance about what's happening with their app in relation to your camera.
