Those little dots that show up when you’re in a call

[mpavilion]

• The orange dot by the battery icon during a phone call (even though the status bar still turns green, as before);
• The green dot by the battery icon during a FaceTime call (even though... same as above);
• And, especially, the tiny green dot in the upper-right–most pixel of the screen during a FaceTime call...

Why??

I had to look them up in the User Guide. Green means that the camera is in use, and orange means that the mic is. I guess this is a case of wanting the built-in apps to have the same 'restrictions' as third-party ones.

“Recording indicator:
iOS displays an indicator whenever an app is using the mic or camera, both in the app and in Control Center.”

Hmm, thanks... you’re right, I see the onscreen dots also appear when you use the camera.
