Are you asking about this green dot?

Status icons and symbols on your iPhone - Apple Support


If you see orange or green indicators in the status bar


With iOS 14 and later, you might see an orange or green indicator in the status bar on your iPhone. These indicators appear when the microphone and/or camera are being used by an app.

An orange indicator  means the microphone is being used by an app on your iPhone.

A green indicator  means either the camera or the camera and the microphone are being used by an app on your iPhone.

Rising of a Green Dot on an iPhone Screen:

Almost seems like a pixelation error. So, when exactly do you see this? Take a screenshot and see if it is still shown. If not, then it is likely a pixelation error. If not then it is an error of this app, itself. Go here: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support

All of my photos are ruined with green dot on my iPhone 11

why on earth would I edit each and every photo to remove it?

Please tell me how to turn this off…please don’t tell me how every camera has flares…bs!

This was a choice by Apple to put this where it is on screen….there’s no reason if it has to be there that Apple should not have put it at the bottom of screen


please tell me how to remove it!
