Hi, and welcome to the Apple (uset-to-user) Community!

Wondering if you have given permission for a third-party (non-Apple) app to use the micophone.

You can: Control access to hardware features on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Review or change access to the camera, microphone, and other hardware features

  1. Go to Settings  > Privacy & Security.
  2. Tap a hardware feature, such as Camera, Bluetooth, Local Network, or Microphone.

The list shows the apps that requested access. You can turn access on or off for any app on the list.


Note: Whenever an app uses the camera (including when the camera and microphone are

used together), a green indicator appears. An orange indicator appears at the top of the screen whenever an app uses the microphone without the camera. Also, a message appears at the top of Control Center to inform

you when an app has recently used either.


More info, if needed: See how to: Control what you share on iPhone - Apple Support


Hope this helps :-)
