It is to alert you that some application is using your microphone. There are other ones as well such as for the camera.

Seems likely that it is. Activating voice to text I get the initial voice icon and then the Green Dot stays for the length of the activation.

It's a feature android copied from Apple I think it came out in the iOS 14 update last year. I have that icon on my iPad.

Not trying to be mean, but if you read the change log, you wouldn't have had to ask this question.

My only thing about it, is it seems to activate randomly when I'm just scrolling Facebook with no sounds. What could be activating the mic?
