The green dot in the upper-right corner of your Android phone might seem confusing, but don’t worry. We’re here to explain what it is and what it means.
Like its competitor, the iPhone, Samsung has designed Android phones with several important alert icons. Some are more intuitive than others, but one that users often ask about is the green dot in the upper-right corner. While users know it indicates something is happening, they don’t always know what function it’s associated with.
Samsung says it added this feature to help users feel more in control of their privacy settings. Once you understand what it means, you’ll know if you need to check your phone’s privacy and permissions settings.
