I just noticed that my HeliBoard icon in the list of apps has a green dot to the left of the name below the icon itself. I have no idea what it means – it seems to be different form the privacy green dot you may get in the top notification area.

Also, I’ve noticed that when I type, not only do some things get underlined in red (I think it’s for misspelling), but also in blue. Any idea what that means?

Thank you

    Depending on your phone / android version / launcher this cab mean different things I guess.

    On my phone (MIUI) a dot like that means this is a new app, after you launch it a few times using that icon (using icon, not by other means like jumping into app from a notification or via opening a link) that dot disappears.

    noticed the green dot as well and panicked - first few search results said that’s an indicator someone’s recording, either via mic or camera; checked the permissions log, no help there. haven’t seen it after that.
