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.


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