Ever since updating my iPhone XR to IOS 14.0.1 the little orange dot signifying that my microphone is on, won’t go off. I’ve tried closing out of all apps, shutting down the phone, turning off the ability to use microphone in all apps but the orange light persists. My next step is to reset the phone but I would rather not do that if I can help it.

iPhone XR, iOS 14
I do know. For most of the people who have posted about this and they say they aren't running any apps they come back with they are on the phone. Which is an app and it uses the microphone. And if you open Control Center while the light is showing it will tell you which app is using the the microphone. How is this not knowing?
There is no problem to solve.
I just seen that little orange dot and I heard you can turn off
but it’s not true though
Well it is….because I am looking at my phone now and guess what? No orange dot.
This discussion really is the comedy gift that keeps on giving……..
Hhmm lol make a call see but I goss you got iPhone 4/5 that why there’s no dot orange light🤔👊
Because, it is a security feature introduced with iOS 14.
I’m having a similar issue. The orange dot isn’t continuously on but it appears randomly and I can’t figure out why. No apps have access to my microphone and NO, I was not on a call. I wasn’t using my phone in any capacity when it has appeared. I moved my phone and the screen lit up and saw the orange dot. I tried control center but it didn’t have any apps using the mic.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Open the Control Center to see what app was last using it.
What are you doing when you see the orange dot? If you open Control Center what does it say is using the microphone?
If you are making a call then the microphone is in use.
Duh?

How is Apple invading your privacy when you make a phone call?
No problem. I hope they see it.
lol.
There's a really BIG clue in the words "when on whatsapp call".......
What is not good? If the microphone is on the light is on. When you are not using the microphone the light is off. What is the big deal?
Orange dot won't turn off on iPhone
