Have you ever thought about what's behind the green and orange dot on your iPhone?

You may have noticed that they appear all of a sudden, but there is actually a reason. Apple says it's a warning. Lights signal the power of the microphone or camera. This post has been added through the update of the IOS 14 in 2020.

Green light shows that only cameras or cameras and microphones are being used by an app on your iPhone. As long as you enter the camera app, you will see that the green light will appear, and when you leave it disappear.

If you look at the orange light, it only shows that the microphone is activated. You can access Control Centre to see which app is using your microphone or camera. Activating a camera or a microphone is not necessarily with bad intentions. For example, if you want to take photos on the Instagram you need to have access to the camera or if you want to send a voice message to the Whatsapp, you need to activate the microphone.

Apple's protection of apps is very powerful because everyone is checked before they get to App Store. If you suspect there's something wrong, check out the app on Stings and if you don't, you just delete it.
