Did you know that once you grant access to your phone’s camera/microphone/GPS location to any third-party App, they can use it silently in the background?

And do you feel envious about the new iOS 14’s privacy feature – shows an indicator whenever camera or microphone is accessed? Or you can’t wait for Android 12’s implementation of the same feature?

Presenting Access Dots for Android, supporting all the way down to Android 7.0!

Access Dots, adds the same iOS 14 style indicators (few pixels light up as a dot) to the top right (default) corner of your screen whenever any third-party App uses your phone’s camera/microphone/GPS location. Access Dots will be visible even on your lockscreen!

Configuring the App is as simple as enabling the Access Dots Accessibility Service (Toggle switch in the App > (More) Downloaded Services/Installed Services > Access Dots > Enable). By default the App is configured to show iOS 14 style colored access dots – green for camera access, orange for microphone access and blue for GPS location. The App itself does not request for camera or microphone access, however, to be able to monitor GPS access by any App, ‘Access Dots’ require GPS location permission.
