its been a far days now and there is still an orange dot on the top right corner of my phone. i tried closing all apps, shutting off my phone, and even turning off the microphone for all the apps it allows. However, the orange dot will not disappear. What should i do?
Hi francheska64,
Thanks for posting your question! We see that you have the orange dot indicating that your microphone is in use, but you don't have any open apps. We'd like to see how we can assist with this.
To double-check, you've fully restarted your device and you've verified that no apps are open in the App Switcher, correct? Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
As a test, if you open the Voice Memos app, are you able to record and play back audio? Make a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone
Also, do you have any headphones connected? Does the same thing happen with headphones connected and disconnected?
Let us know. Kindest regards.
Orange dot even with no apps open
