    Very Informative. I was searching for Red Dot question.
    However, I have a little Red Dot top right above connection status - only when a voice call is active.
    Only when phone call active & connected, the call is ringing-red dot. Receive call-red dot.
    No apps have access to Mic. I never use it.
    I’ve checked Settings, best of my ability.

    • @macmost
      @macmost  6 месяцев назад

      Not sure what you mean. In the very upper left? On the Lock Screen? Usually that is where you would see your mobile provider's name or graphic. On the Home Screen? Usually you would see the time at the very upper left. Do you mean the little arrow next to the time pointed diagonally? That's the location services indicator. It means iOS and/or some apps are using your location.

      @@nickboork Will the ø symbol do? (o with stroke) You can get that by tapping the "o" key and holding it down, then selecting the variation. Otherwise you may need to get a third-party keyboard that specializes in symbols or unicode characters. Another option is to add it as a Text Replacement in System Settings on your Mac, like have "diamsym" replaced with Ø and then that syncs with your iPhone and you can type one and it is replaced with the other.

      Screen space, I'd imagine. You can still see the percent in Control Center easily. And remember the number is only a rough estimate. Battery chemistry makes such things very inaccurate.
