Did you know that granting access to your phone's camera, microphone, or GPS location to a third-party app allows them to use it silently in the background?

Are you interested in the new privacy feature of iOS 14 that shows an indicator when the camera or microphone is accessed? Or are you eagerly awaiting Android 12's implementation of the same feature?

Introducing Access Dots for Android, which supports all the way down to Android 7.0! Access Dots adds iOS 14-style indicators (a few pixels light up as a dot) to the top-right corner of your screen whenever a third-party app uses your phone's camera, microphone, or GPS location. Access Dots will even be visible on your lock screen!

Configuring Access Dots is as simple as enabling the Access Dots Accessibility Service. Just toggle the switch in the app's settings: (More) Downloaded Services/Installed Services > Access Dots > Enable. By default, the app shows 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 camera or microphone access. However, for Access Dots to monitor GPS access by any app, it requires GPS location permission.

Access Dots is currently in early beta and under development. It offers the following features:

  • Display Access Dots whenever your phone's camera, microphone, or GPS location is engaged by a third-party app.
  • Maintain an Access Log that shows when the camera, microphone, or GPS location was accessed, which app was in the foreground at the time of access initiation, and how long the access lasted.
  • Assign any color to either of the Access Dots.
  • On Android 10+, Access Dots by default sticks beside your camera cutout (if your device has one). You can also configure the location of Access Dots by specifying X/Y coordinates.
  • If your device supports the "Energy Ring - Universal Edition!" app, you can wrap Access Dots around the punch hole camera as well.
  • The size of Access Dots can be adjusted.

While it's free to change the color of Access Dots, consider making a donation to support the development and gain access to a few extra configurations, such as changing the size of the dot or its location on the screen. :)

Note: Please make sure the app is whitelisted under any kind of optimization setting your device has. If the app is killed from the background by the system, you may have to restart your phone to reactivate Access Dots.
