Same issue here. I need a fix please!!

Rob ⚡️
Same for me I already Report this Issue.
Once I used the video call by native calling app. It always uses camera even If I’m not using the calling app.
I need to restart the phone to fix this issue.
But again after I used the calling app for a video call, the same thing happened.

After making video calls, the front camera usage indicator (green light at top front right) is always on and says “camera is being used by phone call” even after ending the call and closing is phone call application completely. It is always on. Kindly help as it also makes privacy concerns if the camera is always on.

    kanteswar do check if there is any app active in the background which is using the camera. Also hope u are not misunderstanding mic usage icon during calls.

    If I use video call via phone app, It’s continue to use camera ever after call end’s and I have to manually turn off the camera permission every time.

    It’s not fixed yet 😞

    I do face the same issue even after revoking camera permission from the Phone App still the issue persists.

    I have given camera access to my dialer / phone. Even after closing the app, it still showing that my camera is being used by dialler/phone. It’s not normal right ?? Here is a SS for reference

      Same with me on np2. I just removed camera permissions from phone call app still the icon is there. Might be a bug. (After restarting it’s normal again.)

      ChandanKumar_OEmhHApkIL some constantly accessing your camera got to settings then security and privacy then and then go to permission manager and check which apps are accessing your camera and disable which don’t need
