It means the person in your contact recently changed his/her profile picture. It does not indicate if a person is online or not.
The dot next to a contact's name indicates if they are free to talk or not. Currently, on iOS, you will only see contacts who are using Truecaller on an Android device.
The green one means an app is actively using your camera at the moment. The orange dot means an app is using your microphone.
A green indicator means either the camera or the camera and the microphone are being used by an app on your iPhone.
Since Android 12 (S OS), Samsung has included several enhancements to improve the user privacy protection experience. This green dot is a tool that allows you to know when an application is accessing the device's camera or microphone in real time by displaying a green dot at the top of the notification panel.
If there's a small orange dot present on your iPhone screen in the upper-right corner directly above the cellular bars, it's an indication that the phone's microphone is currently in use – a definite red flag if the user isn't actively making a call or recording something in that moment.
That's where the picture of the person will appear when you set a picture in a given contact. In addition, the circle serves as a quick-access to the contact details, which are shown in a small popup window.
What does it mean if you see the green dot on the top of your Android device? If you've got an Android 12 or later, you'll notice that there's only a green dot indicator (no orange dot) in the top right corner of your screen that will inform you when the phone's camera or microphone is being used by an app.
If you're talking about the number that show up in auto-complete when you start typing a number in messages, blue are contacts with whom you've exchanged iMessages recently, green are those with whom you've exchanged SMS messages recently and grey are people with whom you have not exchanged messages recently.
To make sure iPhone users don't expect iMessage-only features when texting Android users, Apple marks the chat bubbles in blue (“you are texting someone with iMessage”) and green (“you are texting someone without iMessage”).
Open your device's Settings app. Tap Notifications. Turn Notification dot on app icon on or off.
To show time passing without anything being said they put in dots. If I send you a single dot in an SMS or chat it means, I'm here. I'm reading. I'm not saying anything.
Secondly, the contact will not be notified or sent a message that you have blocked them.
Green is SMS, blue is MMS.
If the dot is gray, it means they are not currently active in the chat.
The fact is it's legal, and it's happening. However, just because your device can listen to you legally doesn't mean that it can't listen to you illegally. Just like with any other device connected to the internet, your smartphone can be infected with spyware or malware that can track your activity.
You'll find them in the top right corner of your screen, above the service, Wi-Fi/LTE, and battery indicators. The green dot indicates when an app on your iPhone is using either the camera or the camera and the microphone, Apple explains. The orange dot means an app on your iPhone was using just the microphone.
This is a useful security feature introduced in iOS 14 by Apple to show you when an app is using your camera or microphone. The green dot indicates that your camera, or camera and microphone is in use, and the orange dot indicates that just the microphone is in use.
The Listener Will Nod, Smile And Give You Auditory Feedback: A good listener will nod, smile and give you auditory feedback such as “Mm hum”, “Yeah” “I see” or “No, really?” in a sincere and interested way to encourage you to continue and to indicate that they are listening.
For green messages, the texts that are sent are compatible with a wider range of phones and receiving services than blue iMessage texts. Since Android and other carriers operate within the SMS and MMS standards of text communication, these green texts are more versatile in who they can reach with their texts.
