f you’ve ever wanted a subtle but stylish way to know when your camera, microphone, or GPS is being used, Energy Ring and Access Dots can make it happen. With these apps, you can make your punch hole camera glow whenever these features are active, giving you both visual appeal and peace of mind.

Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Install the Apps

1. Download Energy Ring from the Google Play Store to add a glowing effect around your punch hole camera.
2. Install Access Dots to monitor when your camera, microphone, or GPS is accessed.

Step 2: Set Up Energy Ring

1. Open the Energy Ring app and grant the necessary permissions.
2. Customize the appearance of the ring around your camera, choosing from options like color, thickness, and animation style.

Step 3: Configure Access Dots

1. Open the Access Dots app and enable the service.
2. Grant the required accessibility permissions.
3. Customize the dot placement and colors for the camera, microphone, and GPS indicators.

Important: Grant Precise Location Permissions
For GPS monitoring to work correctly, you must grant Precise Location permission. Without it, Access Dots won’t detect GPS activity.
To adjust this:

1. Go to Settings > Apps > Access Dots > Permissions.
2. Ensure Location is set to “Allow all the time” and select Precise Location.

Step 4: Combine the Features
Now, every time your camera, microphone, or GPS is accessed, Access Dots will notify you, and the Energy Ring will light up around your punch hole camera.

With this simple setup, you’ll enjoy both functionality and a glowing punch hole camera!

Pro Tip: Make sure to grant Precise Location permission for GPS monitoring to work. Without it, Access Dots won’t catch GPS activity, so double-check your location settings.
