Microphone is in Use:

Reportedly, it shows when an application is accessing a camera or microphone. See this image: yellow_dot-near-macos-control-point-icon.jpg

What "control panel"?:

The Control Panel is part of MS Windows ---not iOS.


A Screenshot would Help:

Please provide a screenshot, blocking out personal info (i.e. names, phone numbers, time, etc) by creating rectangle over such info.. See Here: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support
