Small blue light next to speaker on iPhone 11

I have a iPhone 11 and I’ve noticed on the front of the phone there is a very little blue light about the size of a needle point next to to speaker you put up to your ear on a phone call. What does it mean?

It’s a proximity detector that senses when you hold the phone to your face when making a phone call, and disables the screen so your ear or face doesn’t trigger any “buttons"
