So I was on my homescreen when a little green dot appeared I looked it up and saw it tells you that your microphone/camera is in use but I didn't open my camera or use any app that used microphone at that time I also saw it could be your location but my location icon isn't a small green dot it's a location icon I looked in my permission manager and saw no microphone/camera use around the time I saw it I even unhide the system apps to check I haven't downloaded anything and I'm on the November security patch and everything is up to date maybe I again am just being paranoid but it hasn't happened again since yesterday

@awesomecat  If you get the green dot and it says your camera, mic, location is in use, just pull down the shade and tap on the icon (location, mic, camera indicator) and it will tell you which app is using those features.
