Orange dot no apps with mic on

Ever since the last update, I have an orange dot on my phone, or the time appears orange even though I do not have any apps using my mic. I’ve gone to settings/privacy and microphone and all apps with mic access are turned off. How can I learn why my phone is allowing mic access?

If you swipe down from the top-right hand corner of your iPhone to open the Control Center, it will tell you what application is using your microphone. If it shows unknown, it has been seen as a bug and you should report it to Apple through their feedback page below, and select Bug Report.
