The orange dot at the top right of my phone is always on even though I’ve gone to the privacy and security settings and turned everything off. I’ve turned my phone off and then back on, but it won’t go away. Any help?

iPhone 14, iOS 18
Open Control Center, and at the top, you'll see the icon for the camera or microphone and which app was using it most recently.
If Control Center displays “Unknown Device” next to the microphone or camera indicator, it may indicate that an accessory connected via Lightning, USB-C, or Bluetooth — such as an external microphone, webcam, or certain headsets — is requesting audio or video input, but iOS is unable to fully identify the device.
See the pics below
If it says Unknown Device, it can also be an accessibility setting. Do you have anything enabled in "Settings>Accessibility?"
