How can I remove the red and a green dot too from upper right corner of iPhone 11?

I need help in solving this problem. Everytime I make a call or someone calls me, that red dot comes on. I think that all my calls are being recorded, and this is a problem. When I make payments using my phone and have to give personal info to the payer, this red dot is obviously recording everything I say and stealing my bank acct numbers. Pls tell me how to get rid of this once and for all. I cannot find any apps using the microphone and it’s always turned off. What else can it be, and where do I turn it off or delete it if need be? Thank you for your kind support.

iPhone 11, iOS 15

No, you can’t remove them. They are for improved security. The orange dot means that your microphone is been used or was recently used. The green one is for the camera. Don’t worry if you are using apps using mic or camera and the dot appears. It also may stay for a bit after the app is closed. In the Control Center there is more information which app uses them.
