Red Dot next to Wi-Fi symbol

Just noticed this on my iPhone 11phone. I'm aware of the Orange Dot that appears with Camera or Speaker. This is a Red Dot that is on the right side of the Wi-Fi symbol.

When an app is open, there's no dot next to the Wi-Fi Symbol. When I go back to the Home Screen the red dot comes down from the upper right screen corner and parks next to the Wi-Fi symbol.


Anyone know what this is?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

The red dot indicates that an app is using the camera and the orange dot indicates that an app is using the speaker.
