How to Turn Off Orange Dot or Light on iPhone (100% Works!)
0The orange dot or light on your iPhone (visible in the status bar near the top-right corner) indicates that an app is actively using your iPhone’s microphone. To turn it off, you need to stop apps from accessing the microphone or identify and manage the app causing it. Here’s how to do it:
1. Identify the App Using the Microphone
Check Active Apps:
Swipe up from the bottom (or double-tap the Home button on older models) to open the App Switcher.
Look for apps that might use the microphone, such as Voice Memos, Siri, or third-party apps like Instagram, TikTok, or the PlayStation App.
Close suspected apps by swiping them up and off the screen. If the orange dot disappears, that app was the cause.
Test in Use:
Open apps one by one (e.g., Instagram, TikTok) and check if the orange dot appears when using features like voice messages, live streams, or video recording.
2. Disable Microphone Access for Specific Apps
Open Settings:
Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
Go to Privacy Settings:
Tap Privacy & Security - Microphone.
Revoke Microphone Permissions:
Review the list of apps with microphone access (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, PlayStation App).
Toggle off the switch next to any app you don’t want using the microphone (the switch turns gray).
For example, if Instagram is causing the orange dot during stories or live sessions, disable its microphone access.
