Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

so if im having a conversation then the yellow dot should be on right?

last night i was playing a game i play every night and i looked down and realized the green dot indicator was on my phone , since this has never happened before when i play my game i looked it up , now i am under the impression that someone is spying on me through my camera . is this accurate? also if i am having a conversation the the yellow indicator saying that my microphone is on should be on right because i cant have a conversation without my microphone?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Microphone In Use Indicator  An orange indicator appears at the top of your screen whenever an app is using your microphone. See Make a basic recording.


Note: Microphone will also be used when you make calls
