while my iphone 12 is locked i see a orange dot on the right hand side, i tried going into the privacy under microphone and took all apps out and it still shows the orange dot only when locked. What else can it mean?

If you see orange or green indicators in the status bar 

With iOS 14, you might see an orange or green indicator in the status bar on your iPhone. These indicators appear when the microphone and/or camera are being used by an app.



  • An orange indicator  means the microphone is being used by an app on your iPhone.



  • A green indicator  means either the camera or the camera and the microphone are being used by an app on your iPhone.
