What is the Orange Dot on My Phone?
The orange dot on your phone is a useful security feature introduced in iOS 14 by Apple to show you when an app is using your camera or microphone. The orange dot indicates that just the microphone is in use, while the green dot indicates that your camera, or camera and microphone is in use.
The orange dot is a visual indicator that an app is using your microphone, which can be a sign of potential privacy issues. The orange dot will appear in the top right corner of your screen when an app is using your microphone. You can tap the orange dot to get more information about which app is using your microphone and why.
It’s important to note that the orange dot does not necessarily mean that your microphone is being used for nefarious purposes. It could be that an app is using your microphone to record audio for a feature, such as voice commands or voice memos. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check which app is using your microphone and why.
The orange dot is a great way to stay informed about which apps are using your microphone and when. It’s a useful security feature that can help you protect your privacy and keep your data safe. If you ever see the orange dot on your phone, make sure to check which app is using your microphone and why.
