In iOS 15 it's not a light as such, just a green dot on your screen and it lets you know that your camera is activated and could be used for capturing video or stills.Īny time you see this green dot, it's normally for good reason.
If you've ever used video calling software like Zoom or Skype on your MacBook, you'll have seen this in form of a green LED light in the top bezel of laptop, right next to the camera. If you've ever owned a MacBook, this is a familiar feature: the green dot appears when your camera is active.
If you have an iPhone X-model or a later model like the iPhone 11, 12 or 13 with a notch and FaceID, it'll show on the right side of the notch, near your Wi-Fi or phone signal indicators. With iOS 15, most of those still exist, including the privacy-focussed addition which you may have noticed: a green or orange dot randomly appearing at the top of your screen. We got widgets and an app library for the first time, but there also came a load of less obvious new features. (Pocket-lint) - When Apple launched iOS 14 in 2020 it came with a host of visual changes.
