Hi folks,

There is a orange dot appearing at the top right corner of my phone just above the signal strength each time I make or answer a call. I researched and found out that it means there is an app accessing my microphone. I have disabled all the app access and it still is present. I am having a doubt that my phone is tampered with. Any ideas people on how to confirm this ?

As you state, You are using the phone to make or receive a call. As it is impossible to make or receive a call without using the microphone, yes the orange light will indicate you are using the microphone.
