Hey!


The orange light (or circle) is an indicator of your microphone being used!

It's a new privacy feature in iOS 14!


When you make a phone call, you utilise the microphone, and the phone app has the microphone permission always on when you are on a call because the other person needs to hear you too!


So there is absolutely nothing to worry about!

:)


Thanks!
