The icons at the top of our Android smartphones have changed a lot over time. As more features are added, more icons appear, and it can be a bit confusing at times. Here’s what they all mean.

Perhaps the most recognizable and easiest to interpret icons are the battery icons – they are variants of the generic battery symbol that mimics a battery cell.

• U battery saving mode it is represented by a battery bar icon with a cross (similar to the red cross symbol that is commonly associated with first aid and medical services).

• In order low battery – which usually means that it is somewhere between fifteen and five percent, and it is configurable – the icon is a battery symbol that contains an exclamation point.

Network and Connectivity

Network bars and Wi-Fi icons represent your mobile network and Wi-Fi, as well as additional connection features. U mobile network and Wi-Fi icons shows a rough approximation of signal strength – the amount of filled icon can be used to gauge how strong your signal is, just like the battery icon. Some carriers also show network speed – LTE, 4Go 5G – next to this icon.

• An exclamation point next to the mobile network or Wi-Fi symbol means it’s there without internet connection For Wi-Fi, however, it indicates that the device can be connected to the WLAN (local wireless network) but not to the Internet.

call

The traditional icons for the calling experience have been there for a long time.

• The most obvious of these is the phone icon, which varies between a call in progress and a missed call. Interestingly, these icons appear to the left of the status bar.

• If you have mute your microphone during a call, you will find a crossed microphone in your status bar – on the right.

• A phone icon on the right, very similar to the ongoing call, indicates that you are speaking way First, it was the traditional speaker symbol.

Different ways

You often set your phone in one of the many modes available to close notifications, turn off ping sounds, or just to focus on the real-world things you’re busy with.

• An icon that looks like a phone bar with vibration denotes that the phone is on mode of vibrationand it will vibrate for calls and notifications, but it doesn’t make a sound.

• A barred speaker means the phone is on silent mode and it will neither sound for calls and notifications nor vibrate for the effect.

• Another way available is the do not disturb option that blocks all notifications (you can customize which apps or contacts can get through even if DND is enabled)-this icon is a solid circle containing a horizontal dash.

Other icons

There are a bunch of other icons that you’ll see in your status bar from time to time. In addition to these status icons, you will see app-specific icons whenever you receive notifications.

• The upside down teardrop with a hole represents that the location service is enabled, and one of your apps, or an Android feature, is tracking or sharing location. For example, this icon is persistently active when you are using Google Maps for navigation.

• A box containing the Wi-Fi symbol will appear every time you are connected casting from your phone to another display device on your network. An example would be casting a YouTube video from your phone to the TV in your living room.
