Forgive me if it’s been discussed. After searching various ways I was unable to find any discussion of this.

Just noticed the iOS orange light in the Dynamic Island was lit on my iPhone. Looking at Control Center to see which app was using it and it says “unknown.”

Anyone else heard about this happening?

Some third party headphones and stuff show up like this.

Go ahead and shut down the apps you have open, restart the phone and once it finishes restarting, turn on lockdown mode, install any updates asap and then do the privacy check up.

You want to restart to get before first unlock security back on, then turn on lockdown mode because a lot of device and inter process communication gets disabled and if the problem keeps coming back you’ll know to start looking somewhere else. You want to check for and install updates because updates contain security fixes. The privacy check up will tell you what stuff you’ve given access to various ins and outs of the phone and that may tell you something useful.
