Green dot is always ON in the dynamic island, even after turning off the camera and mic in the privacy for all the apps

why the green dot is always ON in the dynamic island? I have turned off the mic and camera for all the apps in the privacy.

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.

Orange dot persists despite disabling mic and camera permissions I have switched off permisson for all apps for mic & camer, but the orange dot is permanently on… it never switches off. Howcome it’s permanently on even though no apps have permission to use mic or camera? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Simply try force restarting your iPhone, pressing volume up then down sequentially and then holding the side button until the Apple logo displays.
