New iOS/iPadOS Status Icons


 

A Status Icon, which I haven¡¯t seen before, showed up on my iPad this morning. It¡¯s not on Apple¡¯s list of status icons yet, so thought I¡¯d share it with you. I also happened across another one, which I¡¯m attaching with the first one.

In the process of syncing and finalizing a software update


Appears briefly when connecting some USB hubs

I don't understand. I'm running?iOS 18.3 Beta 2 and I don't see anything like that.

The first only shows when it¡¯s downloading a system update. ?The second only shows for SOME USB hubs.

I was on IPadOS 18.2, when the first one showed on my iPad. ?It was downloading the 18.2.1 update.

So you¡¯re saying those are icons of the progress of the download and install?

Not of things going on, after the install, during normal operation of the device, on the top of the desktop.?

The first icon, arrows circling the settings cog displayed while the update was downloading the iPadOS 18.2.1 update. I have my iPad set to only download updates, so that I can do the actual install at my convenience. It disappeared after I applied the update.

The second icon has nothing to do with updates. As I said, I just ran across it and mentioned it because it was also said to be a new icon.

That info I found on the Internet about the new icon with arrows circling around a cog on a blue background was incomplete. I just downloaded a file from Google Drive and the icon appeared very briefly, while the file downloaded. So I ¡°think¡± it indicates that a file is being downloaded, not just system updates. Of course the latter will be more obvious, because the files are so large.
