HeliBoard Green Dot
HeliBoard Green Dot
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/14610678
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.

Red is a word that doesn't exist in the keyboard's dictionary (and likely a misspelling, but it sometimes doesn't have everything). Blue is a grammar check, and it's letting you know that your grammar might be incorrect (missing a word, verb doesn't agree with the subject, wrong word chosen, etc.). It's not perfect, but it may help you find mistakes you didn't intend.
I don't know what the green dot means. Sorry.
On Android, app just updated.
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.
