What if you're not close enough to the device at the time to see the indicator? That's the bit the worries me in terms of mic use.

On Android I can toggle the camera and mic OS wide, and per app. When I'm not taking pictures or a call I turn them both off OS wide using the quick toggle buttons. On iOS I can only find options to disable them per app which doesn't give me as much confidence.
