The best thing to do if you’re not sure which app it is is to keep closing them until the dot vanishes.h
If it doesn’t work, turn off the phone. If the orange dot is still there when you turn it back on, you should start to worry.s
Even though there are some concerns, wouldn’t it be preferable to have some sort of visual cue when an app on your phone is utilizing the microphone or camera rather than none at all?m
To be clear, if you see an orange dot at the top of your phone screen, it indicates that one of the apps on your iPhone is currently using the microphone, which means it is recording your voice.
The presence of a green dot at the same location on the screen indicates that the app is using the phone’s camera rather than the microphone.
