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
Oh **** it mine says unknown. What is going on!!! I’ve denied access to all apps. Help this makes me wanna smash my phone and buy a...dare I say it 🥴 galaxy.
When you are on a phone call tap the Mute button and the light will go off.
turning my phone off and on cleared this up.
No it does not tell which app is using! It stays on no matter what I’ve done in settings.

Did you find a solution? The orange dot keeps showing when my iPhone screen is locked but not when I open the iPhone it won’t go away I’ve tried everything
Can you post a picture of your lock screen and your home screen? When you open Control Center what does it show as using your microphone?
You’re welcome! I’m glad it’s resolved. You’re in good company, I’ve answered many posts about strange images on the screen that turned out to be the wallpaper.
how do I get the orange dot off my iPhone so that my phone will work normally...it only works on speaker?
If you had actually read this thread you would know ALL that orange dot does is shows that your microphone is in use. It has nothing to do with speakers.
Try turning your WiFi off... that’s what solved mine
I tried that and it’s still on! Ugh!
You're making a call!

Yes I’m sure the dot is not wallpaper... see pic below:
You're making a phone call. How do you expect the person you are calling to hear you if the microphone is not on?
Gotcha! Thank you so much for clearing that up!
