    Can someone one tell me if it had green dot while not using any camera, microphone it will. Appear on the screen

    Mines use to come on whenever I used the camera. I recently got an update a few days ago and now the microphone light stays on continuously. I selected “ ask every time” and that option only works for a few uses after that, it forces you to only be able to “do not allow” or “ allow to use” . I feel this now installed feature is intrusive and makes it even more suspicious for someone when using their cellphone. Certain Google apps literally saying that the microphone is necessary to use and you can’t deny that particular app access to the microphone. I would like control of my phone and not be FORCED to have it be controlled…by someone else.

      Okay despite what this guy is saying, the green. Is actually a safety measure. The Green Dot only appears when your phone is using the camera or recording audio. This is can be used as an alert if someone is tapping into your phone to listen or spy on you

      Certain Google apps do not allow the microphone to turn off. You can not select “ask every time” or “do not allow” for these apps which I think is BS. I do not use most of those apps but they are telling me the microphone needs constant access to them regardless. Suspicious and intrusive

      That's the whole point, you're using a call app obviously, meaning you are using the mic, it's obvious.

    • @scorporsupremacy7948
      @scorporsupremacy7948 Рік тому

      @@suziemurray8001 Yes, but if you selected “ ask every time” to use it, it should be just that. After awhile it forces you to either select leaving the microphone on completely of off completely. But the option to ask permission to grant it access only when you want to use a certain app is forcibly not an option anymore. Asking me permission every time I want to allow something to use my app(s) should be just that and not force me to give that app full unrestricted permission after a couple of uses.
