Red light

Hey. There is a small red light in the top of my iPhone that is lightning often. I can’t figure out which app that’s turning it on, if it is an app? It often lights red before I open it up with my Face ID. Can you maybe help me figure out why the red light is there? I read that it has something to do with the microphone? Best regards Anne Lind Oesteegaard

The lights, orange and green lights indicate that an app is using your microphone (orange) or camera/camera and microphone (green).
