Hi faabdou,


It sounds like you have some questions about the orange dot on your iPhone. We can help with this.


To start, you can find out more information about the orange and green indicators here: About the orange and green indicators in your iPhone status bar


The orange indicator will appear any time any application is using your microphone including the Phone application. It is not possible to disable the microphone for the Phone application.


If you notice the orange indicator even when the applications are closed, we'd recommend restarting your iPhone using these steps: Restart your iPhone


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
