Any time an app uses your mic or camera, you’ll see the privacy indicator in the status bar.

When you see the privacy indicator:

1. Swipe the status bar down and tap or to see which app is using it.

2. To block that app from using it:

   1. Tap and tap Manage access.
   2. Tap Microphone > Don't allow or Camera > Don't allow.

To quickly block and unblock access to your mic or camera for all apps:

1. Open quick settings and tap Mic access or Camera access to change it to Blocked.

   None of the apps on your phone can use it.

2. When you're ready to use the microphone or camera again, change Mic access or Camera access in quick settings to Available.
