About this app

Powerful app that indicates whether other apps or services uses your location, camera or microphone. Be aware, after granting any of those permissions to an app they can use features without your knowing or as we call it "spying".
This app will help in that manners

**Location permission**
Use location permission to determine when other apps are using location access to share your current location.
Privacy Dots does not use either share or store your location, instead, permission is just used for detecting whether other apps or services use the location access.

**Accessibility service**
Enabling accessibility service is required to enable privacy monitoring which detects whether the applications have used your hardware such as camera and microphone.
All information received during app active time will stay locally (on your device). Once the app data is removed or uninstalled everything will be removed.

Ratings and reviews

Seems to work pretty great but it seems like the app only detects when apps are actively recording since just opening the camara app on my Xiaomi phone doesn't make the dot pop up only when I hit record... Could be on Xiaomi's side but im not sure seems to work for all other apps though! Small nitpick is the smaller dot icon cannot be used when taping on it says "not yet available" I'll keep using if it keeps getting updates so far pretty impressed!

Whitelist or ignore for x amount of time certain apps? How about timestamps for when the app accessed? My access log doesn't show events until it has been 2 days old or older? It would be nice to refresh the log and see what app is accessing sensors. I can't change the color of the notification dots either.

Very good app. Best privacy app, it's lets you know when an app is using is your microphone, camera or location in the background. It's working perfectly for me. I would definitely recommend it
