Privacy in the digital age

So I was using my phone in the dark after turning off the lights, then I noticed a small, red blinking light at the top of my phone. It's above the screen and decently spaced from the screen camera. I checked, but didn't notice anything sticking out.

Could it be a hidden camera? There is a small hole 1/2 a centimeter away, but I don't think it could be there (If there is one).

Any comments and advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks.
