What is the orange dot on my iphone?

The orange dot on your iPhone indicates that the microphone is being used by an app. This is a privacy feature introduced by Apple in iOS 14.

• What it means: When you see the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/orange%20dot" >orange dot</a>, an app is actively using your iPhone's microphone.

• Location: It appears in the upper-right corner of your screen, next to the cellular/Wi-Fi/battery indicators.

• Purpose: It's a visual indicator to alert you when an app is accessing your microphone, even if the app is running in the background. This helps you maintain your <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/privacy" >privacy</a> and security.

• Checking which app: To see which app is using the microphone, open <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/control%20center" >Control Center</a>. The name of the app that recently used the microphone will be displayed at the top.

• Troubleshooting: If you see the orange dot when you don't expect it, you can review your app permissions in Settings > Privacy > Microphone to restrict microphone access for certain apps.
