Access Dots : iOS 14 Access In 1.4

Access Dots: iOS 14 Access Indicator and Privacy Enhancement

The introduction of iOS 14 brought significant privacy enhancements, notably the indicators alerting users when third-party applications access the camera or microphone. Access Dots aims to replicate this feature for users who value their privacy and want a constant awareness of app activities.

Upon granting a third-party app access to your camera or microphone, it can utilize these features without explicit user notification. Access Dots addresses this concern by providing visible indicators on your screen—specifically, small colored dots that appear in the top right corner whenever an app engages these functions. Remarkably, these indicators remain visible even when the device is locked.

Configuring Access Dots is straightforward; users simply need to enable the app's Accessibility Service. By default, the app displays green dots for camera access and orange dots for microphone usage, ensuring clarity in distinguishing between the two types of access. Importantly, Access Dots does not require any permissions for the camera or microphone itself, prioritizing user privacy.

The app also features an Access Log that can be accessed through the main settings. This log details the specific times your camera or microphone were accessed, identifying which application was active during those moments and how long the access lasted.

Notable features of Access Dots include:

• Adjustable size for access dots
• Customizable colors for each access dot
• Positioning options for dot placement
• Color customization for access indicators
• Persistent display of access dots during camera/microphone use by third-party apps
• A robust Access Log feature

If this privacy-oriented app meets your needs, consider leaving a review to share your experience with others.

Additionally, it is recommended to whitelist Access Dots in any device optimization settings to prevent interference with its functionality; otherwise, a device restart may be required to reactivate the access indicators after being closed by system processes.
