Orange light on left corner
Why is an orange light comes up on my left corner of my iphone where the clock is placed.
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Correct. Tapping does not open the app that is using my mic. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Not just an app, let’s be clear:
An orange indicator “🟠” means the microphone is being used by an app on your iPhone.
The mic indicator isn’t on the left, it is on the right. A colored background behind the time means an app is running; the color tells the class of the app that is running.

I have no apps running and it’s still doing it - does Apple listen in on our phones??
@lawrencefinch no apps running here - orange recording indicator permanently on 😳
I’ve experienced the orange over clock in the upper left as well after using video chat in WhatsApp. It stayed orange even through multiple calls after not using WhatsApp using standard calling. I had to power my iPhone 12 off to stop it. Makes me wonder if I was being listened to or had been hacked via WhatsApp. Occasionally I get random messages from non contacts on WhatsApp.
