ANDROID 12 - Disable the green dot for micro and camera usage

Important: It is not necessary to root the phone. It is very simple if you follow these steps:


1. Activate the Developer option on the phone.
-> "About the phone" -> "Software information" -> "Build number" (tap 7 times).

2. Enable USB Debugging
-> "Developer options" -> "USB debugging"

3. Download ADB (Android Debug Bridge) - (SDK for Windows)
developer.android .com/studio/releases/platform-tools

4. Open the folder where it is "platform-tools", press yes hold the SHIFT key and right-click and choose the option: "Open PowerShell window here". It's like CMD.

5. To remove the mic and camera icons, type:
.\adb shell cmd device_config put privacy camera_mic_icons_enabled false default

6. To remove the real-time location icon:
.\adb shell cmd device_config put privacy location_indicators_enabled false default

7. You have to pay attention to the phone to confirm this operation.


Note: When using the command if you get an error such as: This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Simply disable and re-enable USB debugging on the phone

Note: To put the icons back, change the "false" of the command to "true"

This is all.
