About the orange and green indicators in your iPhone status bar

With iOS 14, an orange dot, an orange square, or a green dot indicates when the microphone or camera is being used by an app.

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.

A green indicator means either the camera or the camera and the microphone are being used by an app on your iPhone.

This is an awareness feature. The user can get the status of their camera and microphone at a glance.
