Orange dot and Green dot

Good day.


Does the green or orange dot mean my phone calls or video calls are being recorded (I am being spied on) or does it just mean the camera or microphone is in use?

No. The orange dot means that your mic is on, as it would be if you were on a phone call. The green dot means the camera is on. Neither means that you are being recorded or spied on. However, if either is on at a time that you are not intentionally using the camera or mic that should be investigated.
