Privacy Indicator is the magic wand that would help enhance your privacy by bringing one of the coolest feature introduced in iOS 14 to your android device. It would instantly bring the iOS 14 style camera and microphone usage indicators or access dots to your device 😎
Once Privacy Indicator is installed, you will be able to see a small access dot indicating realtime camera or microphone usage on your device 🚥
Privacy Indicator also offers a wide range of customization options to customize the indicator dot and personalize it the way you want ⚙️
How to use ?
Using the Privacy Indicator is absolutely simple. All you need to do is to turn on the indicator switch to activate the Privacy Indicator accessibility service, and you're done. Once the indicator dot shows up on your screen, you can now further customize it the way you want.
Once the indicator is turned on and everything is configured, you can close the app and let it do the rest 🎉
Features :
• Camera and Microphone access dots or indicators
• Assign custom colors to the indicator dot
• Custom indicator size selection
• Place indicator anywhere on the screen
• Apply shadow and border to the indicator dot
• Wide range of indicator animations

Q. What exactly does Privacy Indicator do for me ?
Privacy Indicator helps protect your privacy by instantly letting you know whenever an app is using the camera or microphone on your device.
Q. Do I really need Privacy Indicator on my device ?
Absolutely yes. Once you grant camera or microphone usage permission to an app, you never know exactly how and when that app is using that permission. While most of the apps use these permissions when required, but there can always be some apps on your device that use it without even letting you know. And this can be a real privacy threat for everyone.
Q. I see the indicator dot when I open the Privacy Indicator app. Is Privacy Indicator also using my camera or microphone ?
That's a good question. But no, Privacy Indicator never uses the Camera or Mic on your device. It only shows up there to help you customise the indicator dot in real-time.
