What the heck does this mean?
Now to explain this, i haven't installed an app in a while now. And recently, this showed up.
This really concerns me if i am being recorded or something. I know this isn't the right subreddit to ask, but what should i do?
You're viewing a single thread.
I had an "Unknown" app using my microphone on the Apple Watch from time to time. Turns out it was the handwashing detection. Nowadays it's labelled correctly.
This can also be an app that you (very) recently deleted, but as the dot is still showing it's indicating that the microphone is in use right at this moment. I would assume it's a system service that isn't properly labelled (maybe something to do with iOS 18 being so new and it was an oversight), but I don't know which system service would need to use the microphone.
Is this persistent across reboots?
It is. I just rebooted my phone and it came back.
