Will the orange dot appear with every phone call? Or will it only appear when an app is listening in and it’s not normal to be on with every phone call? I also get the green dot with facetime and I assume that’s because the camera is being used but I just wanted to double check that this is normal for every call

Yes, it is perfectly normal to see the orange dot when making or receiving a phone call, as it is impossible to make a phone call without using the microphone.
