Apple's latest iPhone software update has a new "warning point" that allows users to see if one of their applications is listened to or watched.
Launched this week, iOS 14 displays a small orange point in the upper corner of the iPhone screen to inform users that the microphone is activated, reports the Daily Mail.
The small but visible point appears just above the signal bars and next to the battery indicator.
It changes in dark green when the room is activated, telling iPhone users that applications are pursued.
The orange point is an important indicator that suggests that other spying applications when this should not happen.
