So my iphone7 was locked on the floor. I picked it up and noticed the green light at the top of the screen was on, indicating that an app was using my camera. I don’t particularly feel comfortable with apps using my camera willy nilly, without me opening an app for that particular purpose. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I see what app is doing this? And how do I stop it? Thanks
iPhone 7
When you picked it up did you accidentally touch the Camera icon on the lock screen?

I did but wasn’t showing anything. Only appears to show apps if they’re currently using the camera, not recently used. I’ve changed the permissions in settings now so I’ll see if that makes a difference.
To see what app is using Camera, open Control Center
If an app recently used the camera or mic, it will say in Control Center.
Green indicator for camera.
