This red dot (with numbers inside) is a notification badge. Apps that often get these red dot badges are phone, messaging and email apps.

The dot does not meaning anything is being recorded. It only means that the microphone is on, which it will be when you are on a call or taking a picture. If it wasn't on the person on the other end wouldn't be able to hear you.

Microphone Access. If you see a yellow dot above the cellular signal icon while you're actively using an app on your iPhone, it means that the app is currently using the device's microphone.

Truecaller will indicate you as unavailable! When selecting a contact's profile in Truecaller's contact book, you will see a red or a green dot for when they were last seen.

Truecaller's Availability feature makes it possible for you to know if the person you're about to call is busy or not. For example, if you see a red bell icon next to that number it means that phone is on silent mode. If you see a red phone icon, it means that person is on the phone.

Spyware can track your GPS location, record your keypad inputs such as credit card numbers and passwords, and monitor your calls, texts, app usage, emails, voice, and other personal data.
To put it simply, you can't hit "record" while you're talking on the phone. You either need an external iOS device with audio recording and microphone functions or a third-party app with a separate call software such as Google Voice. Also, note that these third-party apps may require a subscription fee.
