Green camera/microphone icon on iPhone despite no app access

although no app on my phone has access to the camera and microphone, there is a green icon in the upper-right corner of my phone. I checked the access permissions from the settings, as I said, no application has camera and microphone access turned on, and it's been like this for the last 3 hours

If you open the Control Center by dragging down from the battery icon it will tell you the app that most recently used the camera or microphone at the top of the page.
