Orange dot for unknown microphone usage on iPhone 15 My iPhone 15 is showing the orange dot, saying that an “unknown” is using my microphone. I went into Privacy and Security>>Microphone already, but it didn’t help. How can I get rid of the orange dot? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unknown microphone usage An orange dot was shown in my upper right corner which said the microphone was being used. I closed all my apps and turned off microphone for them all but it still showed it was being used by an unknown source. The only way I got rid of it was to power off the device and power it back on, if there is a better way for the future please let me know.

Unknown Microphone access in control center I updated to iOS 18.3 a few days previously, and it's been running well on my iPhone. However, I noticed something wrong on my home screen. The Microphone was on. When I opened the control center, it said that an unknown app had access to the microphone, but it had done so without my consent. When I checked settings to see if there was an app that had requested access, there was none. The Issue was resolved after a hard restart, but it still baffles me. This has never happened in the past ten years of using the iPhone.

“Someone” can’t be listening to you unless you are in an app that supports voice communications and you are connected to them.
