The green camera indicator flashing every time I switched apps or returned to home screen

I have iPhone 15 pro and iOS 18.0.


The green camera indicator flashed every time I switched apps or returned to home screen. I removed every camera access right from every app and it still kept happening. What ended it was restarting the phone. But now I am worried what that was about? My battery settings shows that during the pas 24 hours my camera has been in use for 1 hour and 26 mins, but the most I have used it is 30 mins if even that.


Is there any way to see some sort of report on which apps used my camera during that time?


edit// here are the websites I visited yesterday, if any of these have some sort of malware that can use your camera:


macrumors.com

simplymac.com

ipvanish.com

dexerto.com

sportskeeda.com

I’m noticing the same issue since I updated to iOS 18. Yours is the first post I’ve seen with someone else noting this issue.
