Headphone symbol superimposed over Apple Music icon

Any thoughts on why a headphone symbol would be superimposed over the Apple Music icon in the recently used apps at the bottom of my screen? No earbuds or headphones were connected at the time, wireless or otherwise.


thanks.

Do you have another device, such as an iPhone, to which you may have (or have had) headphones/earbuds connected?


Badge icons, such as illustrated, are normally associated with Apple Continuity functions indicating App activity on an associated device - and potential handoff of that activity to your iPad.
