    To enhance your privacy, it’s crucial to review the permissions granted to different applications that may have camera access. Here’s how you can check app permissions on an Android device:

    1. Navigate to Settings: Open your device’s Settings app.
    2. Select Privacy or Apps: Depending on your Android version, you might find this under ‘Privacy’ or ‘Apps’ settings.
    3. App Permissions: Look for ‘App Permissions’ or ‘Permission Manager’.
    4. Camera Access: Select ‘Camera’ to see which applications have permission to use the camera.

    But yeah, its the icon that shows you something is using your camera, 99% is your phone when you unlock if you have set the face unlock. If not, check first part

  • like unlocking my phone and seeing the green camera icon running for some reason then disappearing.

    That’s probably the icon that appears when an app/something uses the camera, it was added for privacy, The green camera icon on Android typically appears on your screen as part of the notification bar. This icon indicates that your device’s camera is currently active or has been activated by an application. Knowing when your camera is in use is crucial for maintaining your privacy and understanding how your device operates.

    Same happens with the mic. Did you use face unlock? If yes, that’s why you see it
