How do I make the orange dot go away? My microphone is set to “off”

How do I recognize the apps that are accessing my microphone even though I have the microphone turned “off” in my settings? I still get the orange dot when talking to ppl.

iPhone X, iOS 14

Yes, of course you see the orange dot when talking to people, as it is impossible to have a voice conversation on any phone without using the microphone.
