Red/orange dot on Home Screen; Microphone icon in Dynamic Island My iPhone 16 Pro Max now displays the microphone icon (orange) in the Dynamic Island, and I see a small red or orange dot in the upper right corner. I've gone through my settings and looked for anything that might be using the microphone or the camera. The little orange dot turns green when I launch the camera. Why do these icons and dots appear all the time? Do I have one or more apps using the camera or microphone? Should I be worried about security or privacy? I just need to understand what's going on. The iPhone 16 User Guide so far hasn't helped much.

Camera and Microphone still on after using Whatsapp Hello. I am currently having a bug on my whatsapp. As we know for the iPhone 14 pro max has a dynamic island and there is a green light indicating when the camera is on. Well it occurred several time on my phone that after a whatsapp video call, the green light indicating that the camera and mic are on does not go off and when i swipe i can see that it’s written there that Whatsapp is currently using my camera and mic(even i closed the app completely) i have tried to go on settings then privacy to disable the cam and mic for WhatsApp, but the light dot is still there. please note that it doesn’t happen after every video call but rather after once every 2 days where i have to restart my phone in order for the dot to go away. i would be very grateful if i could be advised accordingly. thanks a lot in advance.
