Hello, my Apple watch Microphone active icon appears from time to time during the day, and it says it is used by something named:

I don’t have that application on my iphone or apple watch nor have I ever heard of it.

Hello matei224,

We understand that you're experiencing your microphone being used by an app you're unfamiliar with on your Apple Watch. First, it's a good idea to report this to Apple at Get Support. Then, there are a few actions you can try that may resolve this issue.

Restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch.
On your iPhone go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone and disable any apps you don't want to have access to your microphone.
If the issue persists after disabling access to microphone, you could unpair and repair your watch and iPhone to see if that helps.

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Best regards.
