Red dot and screen goes to privacy dark mode on some iPhone 13 phone calls What does the small red dot by the cellular bars on the upper right mean when you’re on a call? Also, the screen turns to the dark mode when the red dot is on. The call was not started in dark mode. Does this mean the call is being recorded or being spied on by a 3rd party? How can you turn it off while you are talking? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The red dot icon represents that your iPhone’s microphone is in use.
