Thank you for sharing this.
I don't have the camera app in my app grid, but sometimes I see the green dot and have no idea what is triggering it. I even disabled the camera permission for all apps and started to turn it on from scratch only for apps I find necessary, but didn't know what was triggering it.
I am not why this logging thingy isn't enabled by default, but I am very happy it's possible to turn it on.
When the phone is locked, and you swipe from the bottom and upwards, you have the camera on the bottom right on the lock screen.
Putting your finger there while swiping up triggers the camera.
So for me I get this green dot every time I unlock my phone which is very annoying and feels like a privacy issue.
Oh... You're totally right. I was just able to reproduce this.
Maybe that's the reason I sometimes get a green dot when I am unlocking my phone.
Tyvm for sharing this. IIRC, it's possible to change the camera icon in the lock screen to something else. Since I never use this button (I am one of those weirdos that use the camera control button instead), I think I'll change to something else.
