It means that there is an app active in background; something that you would want to run even if you were using a different app, such as navigation or audio streaming. If you tap on the time your phone will switch to that other app.

Interesting…


I did not know that. I thought this happened strictly when using the microphone, then exiting the app, and leaving the microphone running. Please see the screenshot:



This was right after exiting the Voice Memos app, and starting a recording. Soon after I took the screenshot, it turned into the “orange background behind the clock.”


Just thought I’d share my findings.
