Blue microphone

Anyone know what the blue microphone means next to the time on iPhone 11? How do you get rid of it?

Hi Peter_Logan,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Noticing you've viewed Apple Support's list of icons ...


Apple's iPhone User Guide has another list of status icons:

Says:

Voice Control  Voice Control is turned on in Settings > Accessibility,

and Siri is ready for your requests. See Use Voice Control to interact with iPhone.


(Seems when Voice Control is turned on: "You can control iPhone with just your voice.

Speak commands to perform gestures, interact with screen elements, dictate and edit text, and more.")

All the best :-)
