App privacy report camera

i have noticed the green light for the camera has been appearing when I pick up my phone. I have run an app privacy report and it shows my camera is being accessed while I’m not using it. It was accessed for 5 entire minutes last night when I was asleep. I had no background apps open requiring the camera. I also have very restricted permissions on what apps can use the camera. Why is the camera essentially turning itself on as well as the microphone when I’m not using it

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Hello there! Have you tried restarting your phone? Probably it has to do with websites or sites that require permission to use the camera? Have you experienced them?


Moreover, I think that the camera is being used for Face ID, hence why it turned on. Or do you have any other default iphone features using the phone’s camera?


If the issue persist, I recommend that you contact the Apple Support via Contact - Official Apple Support


Thanks and good luck!
