What are these icons

Anyone tell me what these icons are?

just look in the phone's notifications. but something tells me this is not your phone.

we get this question almost on a daily basis. the problem is that there are millions of apps out each with their own icons. so unless it is something popular like facebook or youtube, you will only get a guess from us....but...you might get lucky.

If you are paranoid about the circled heart (apologies if this is stereotyping but most of these queries are from people with relationship insecurities) that's the "digital wellbeing" icon, something that's baked into almost all modern Android devices, and nothing at all to do with dating apps.

One of the others is a standard "navigation is active" icon. The dot means "there are more notifications than fit on here", which means that whoever's phone this is doesn't bother closing notifications.

If he doesn't reply back then most likely it wasn't his phone.

But oddly enough, it seems like the pics were screenshots, rather that pics taken with another cell.
Yup it’s my girlfriends. Not really worried about dating apps. Bow tie I think might be favor, the heart one I’m worried if she’s having health issues again. Ladder one just curious.
Hadron is correct. The one I named "broken circled heart" is the Digital Wellbeing and it is part of Android. The "ladder".. stairway to heaven? :)

Heart icons are common in fitness apps, but having one of those installed doesn't mean someone has a problem.

But "digital wellbeing" is about stuff like warning about excessive screen time. It's not about your health at all.
