Help! Any advice what apps these notifications are for? Or why there are so many of the second one. I feel I know but not 100% sure.

I don't recognise either, which isn't surprising as there are literally millions of apps out there. But the first has a calculator feel, the second feels more like a game.

(At least this makes a change from "is this a dating app?", unless you are worried about niche dating apps for accountants or robots ;))

I was feeling the whole calculator thing too, but why a notification from a calculator…lol‍♀️
Second one being a game maybe but Im unsure at this point. Don’t play games at all. Unless it’s one of those games for accountants

Well a % sign could be a gambling app, but the last thing those people generally want is anything that might make their marks think about the odds ;)
A notification from a calculator is odd, but I've seen some pretty pointless notifications in my time so won't rule anything out.

If they are on your phone you can just pull down the notification slide and see what apps produced them.
Normally when people ask these questions it's about notifications on other people's phones, so I didn't think of suggesting that.

we get this kind of question almost on a daily basis. you will most likely guesses from us. there are just too many apps out there to know what app it is just by the notification icon alone.....unless it is something popular like facebook or youtube.

those icons do not look like dating apps or anything like that.

what makes you suspicious of those icons?

Yes you are right and I get it. Just wanted to get other people’s take on them. Thanks!
My suspicions of these icons are a story for another day or two lol
