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. You'll see this show up when you're in the middle of a phone call, voice chat in an app, or while audio recording in general.
You most likely have do not disturb on. Turning it off makes the date and time bright again (also opt. clicking the date and time turns on/off do not disturb as a shortcut).
Can I Disable It? You cannot disable the orange dot. The dot and other features appear on the newest updates of the iPhone iOS to prioritize user privacy. It's simply meant to notify you when your microphone is on or when an app may be using it.
Something (an App) or a process in the background is probably stuck with the microphone when you last used it. Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue: Press and quickly release Volume UP button. Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button.

Your Android's Do Not Disturb mode can silence notifications, alerts, phone calls, and text messages when you want to tune out your phone. You can turn Do Not Disturb on or off by pulling down the Control Center from the top of the screen.
If Do Not Disturb still gets activated on your iPhone, go for the software update. There is a high possibility that a software bug could be triggering the issue. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad -> General -> Software Update. After that, download and install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
Check the hardware of your device, PC, or phone, for the files with videos or audio. If unexpected video or audio files are found, it indicates that your webcam or microphone has been hacked. Such files are usually named with random characters or numbers.
In Sound settings, go to Input and under Test your microphone, look for the blue bar that rises and falls as you speak into your microphone. If the bar is moving, your microphone is working properly. If you aren't seeing the bar move, select Troubleshoot to fix your microphone.
Therefore it's natural to wonder “can this happen to me?”. The truth is, yes. Someone can listen to your phone calls, if they have the right tools and they know how to use them – which when all is said and done, isn't anywhere near as difficult as you might expect.
