What is the red dot above cellular network bars on iPhone?

dang... you do not have to yell

sorry i asked you

MrHoffman

Thank you for your detailed explanation

I now understand, I appreciate your time and help.

I wasn't yelling. I was emphasizing to help you understand the red dot does not mean you are being recorded. My apologies if you took the emphasis as yelling.

this is not correct. i have both the RED and ORANGE dots that appear on my dark background and i have been able to tell the difference for almost fifty years

Make a service appointment, something is wrong with your iPhone.

Powerful phone

How do I turn it off

Mute your microphone.

Ues how do i tirn it off and see all apps using

You explained an orange or green dot. What does a red dot mean? That your microphone and camera are NOT being used?

Thanks

The red dot is the orange dot that displays as red with some backgrounds.

It can be red depending on the background. It still just means the microphone is on and has nothing to do with your calls not going through.

Hmmm. Perhaps that’s true I haven’t given it much thought tbh.

We can’t turned it off

I’m not on any phone call it seems to always be on except when I start talking about it then it seems to go off but comes right back on how do I turn it off it’s kinda creepy
