Understanding Icons ???!!!

Has the yellow dot now been replaced by a yellow square ? The green dot hasn’t changed for when a app is using the camera on your iPhone, but now it seems to be a yellow square that pops up when a app is using your microphone. Or has this new icon got a totally different meaning ???

An orange indicator  means the microphone

is being used by an app on your iPhone.

This indicator appears as an orange square if the Differentiate Without Color setting is on. 

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
