If you've used a recently launched iPhone, you've likely noticed a green or orange light flashing near the dynamic island at the top of the screen during a call or while using an app. Many new users are confused as to why these lights appear. If you're an iPhone user and don't know the reason behind these lights, find out here.

The Real Meaning of the Green and Orange Lights
These lights are a special feature on the iPhone for your security and privacy. Here's the real reason for these lights. The green dot appears whenever your iPhone's camera is being used, whether it's a video call, the camera app, or any other app that accesses the camera.

Why do you see these lights?
The orange dot indicates that your microphone is active and an app is recording your voice. These dots were added intentionally to help users quickly determine if an app is secretly accessing the camera or microphone. This makes it easier to detect malware or suspicious apps installed on the phone.

Which app accesses the camera or microphone?
If you're not using the camera or microphone, but still see a green or orange dot, simply open the Control Center. It will clearly show which app is accessing these features. If you notice anything suspicious about an app, immediately close it or turn off its permissions.

Can these lights be turned off?
The green and orange dot lights on the iPhone are permanent and cannot be turned off. These small dots strengthen your privacy and help detect any unwanted activity.
