Microphone and 2 orange dots while using voice memos

What does it mean when there are 2 orange dots simultaneously- one on the left side of the signal bars and the other at the top right corner of the battery symbol while voice recording? A few minutes before that the microphone symbol and and orange dot next to signal bars were on at the same time while I was on the Home Screen.

Thanks for posting to the Apple Support Communities MoeNoNoNo,


We understand you have questions about the icons shown in the status bar. You can find some information pertaining to the orange indicator, here: About the orange and green indicators in your iPhone status bar


In regard to the orange icon next to the battery, if you tap Settings > Battery, does the Battery Usage By App section show Voice Memos using significant battery?


Cheers!
