Somehow you had turned on Screen Recording. It may have been by accident, but that is what the symbol in the island means. If you ever see a symbol in the island on your iPhone, to identify what it is, simply tap it and you'll know what it is doing.


Ps: Are you aware you are in Low Power mode on your iPhone?
