There is a red dot appearing at the top of my iPhone 14 Pro Max. What is this?

Yesterday, this red dot appeared on my iPhone (14 Pro Max). I've heard all kinds of theories about it - it's the mic, it's the camera - but no definitive answer. I rebooted the phone and it's gone.


Does anyone actually know what this is, without speculating? Has this phone been hacked? Or is it some other app that was using some service?
