Green dot on photos.

I have a Motorola Moto G 2023, and I've noticed the screen Dot and a couple pictures too, does anyone on here actually have answers to what this is and not just random comments about other stuff with it?

Welcome.

Yes, several members have said what it is: lens flare.

Yep, it's in post #18. Definitely lens flare.

Welcome.

But it seriously just a round dark green dot doesn't have any flare quality to it, it almost looks like the dot that you have when you're showing as an act of person online but obviously it's in the picture.

You're talking about the dot at the lower left, correct? That's classic lens flare. If that's not what you're talking about, then show us another example of what you're talking about.

Here's an example from one of my own photos on my Pixel 7 Pro, with the lens flare circled:

Yes, it causes some confusion, but I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve removed green blobs from smartphone photos using editing tools.

Yet it occurs directly opposite and symmetrical to the center of the photo from wherever the sun is in the photo.

Classic lens reflection artifact.
