now I know what the orange and green lights mean... what does a red light indicate?
iPhone XS Max, iOS 13
Actually you are incorrect. My entire area at the top and bottom of my screen is black and the letters are white. I keep getting 3 different colored dots RED, GREEN and ORANGE. The RED is in fact RED NOT ORANGE! The orange is orange and the RED IS RED! We are ALL seeing this with the exception of a few and WE ALL WANT TO KNOW WHY! Not to be told we are NOT actually seeing red because it is orange. I’m not color blind and the black background on my phone doesn’t change. I have it set up permanently like this. And recently my husband and myself have started seeing these 3 different colored dots. We’ve never noticed them before, but they are clearly here now.
This is what I’ve personally done and recommend this to anyone who has an issue with their privacy being violated. I’ve gone into my privacy settings and turned off all allowances for camera and microphone. If I need to use them on an app, I will turn it on at that time. So if I continue to see these dots, that’s going to be a real problem for me!
Do you know why the recording would start on its own when I make or receive a phone call? Have I set that up some way? And shouldn't recordings show up in my photo library?
There is no recording.
The orange light simply indicates that the microphone is in use.
It is impossible to make a phone call without using the microphone.
Oh, so every time you make a call the red light comes on. Mine is not orange. And the green light that comes on initially just means you're making or receiving a call and then it changes to red?
Yes, over the wifi status bars, as I've shown in the above picture.
I’m having the same issue
Also I get discounted after a few min of being on the phone
It’s an orange dot.
it looks red because of the dark background.
Probably because until the number is dialed it doesn’t know whether the call will use one of the many apps that support video calls such as FaceTime.
My problem isn’t that the dot is red - it’s that my face doesn’t show when using FaceTime. I can’t see it and the recipient can’t see it. It says paused. I can see and hear them but they can SEE me.
Correction- They Can NOT see me
Indicators in status bar. What is a red dot?
