what is the blue circle microphone icon on the upper left hand corner?

what does the blue circular microphone icon mean on the new iPhone. Also, when I am sending a text, and the microphone hears background noise, it then types it automatically into my message content. It's pretty embarrassing when my toddler is talking about pooping in the potty in the back ground and it picks up the text!

That is Voice Control. It can be turned on or off in Settings>Accessibility. It is used to use voice to control your iOS device.
