Orange dot at top of screen won’t go away even though I turned off microphone for all the apps that previously had access to it. When I swipe down, it shows a little orange microphone and it says “unknown,” as if it is unknown who is using it. Worried if I am being hacked or something?
iPhone 11, iOS 14
No, you are not being hacked. Something (an App) or a process in the background is probably stuck with the microphone when you last used it.
Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:
