Red Dot Appears in Video Calls on WhatsApp, Messenger & Snapchat (S25)

[MUNC]

 Hi, I am using a Samsung Galaxy S25, and I have noticed a small red dot appearing on my screen during video calls in WhatsApp, Messenger, and Snapchat. The dot is visible only during live video calls. It does not appear when recording video or taking photos using the default Camera app. It appears in the exact same position every time. I have already cleaned the camera lens and tested in good lighting. All apps and phone software are up to date. Could you please confirm if this is a known issue with the S25 or One UI, and if there is a fix or upcoming patch? Thanks!

Is your phone new ? Did you buy it box pack ?
As per my knowledge, there is no scuh red dot in this location. Which has a purpose to be there for any indication of the usage of the camera.

Yes box pack new

Ok. If it is appearing in some apps and in some, it doesn't , so it should not be hardware fault. It is most probably some software API issue showing in other apps than the native camera app.
Try updating all apps. It should be resolved by the software.

Tell me one more thing, in social media apps, the red dot appears, but does it get recorded in any posting or just shows on screen?

All apps are already on latest version.
I have taken screenshots and it get recorded in screenshot like the one i shared with this post.
When im making video via camera the dot does not appear on screen or get recorded in my videos.
Also. The dot is visible to the reciever as well during the video call.

I think they mean the dot when you open camera or voice recorder on the lop right it shows the these are being used

I know about that dot.
But this dot is entirely different as you can see in screenshot as well

Sir use *#0*# code to chek all the colours. If there is any dot, it will be visible in screen while checking the different colours.
