What is DCM icon?

Hi there Walletarian,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We understand you're seeing DCM in the upper-right corner of your iPhone screen. We'd like to hear more about this to help figure out what this is exactly.

We can see you're already coming to the Communities from Status icons and symbols on your iPhone. We don't see DCM listed there either. In that article, you can see what you should see in the upper-right corner of your iPhone display, however.

-Can you tell us what's to the right and left of this DCM icon in the upper-right corner?

-Do you notice DCM present when your iPhone screen is locked, unlocked or both?

-Do you only notice it showing DCM while you're performing certain tasks on your iPhone, like using a certain app, or connecting to certain devices, vehicles, etc.? It could be related to an app you're using or to a vehicle you're connecting to. Looking DCM icon up on the internet shows a possibility that it could represent 'Data Communication Module'.

The more details you can provide, the better chance we have of figuring this out together with you here in the Communities.

Thank you!

That’s not an iPhone screen. Looks like an Android.

It is not a screenshot of an iPhone.

It is a photo of a Google device.

Then you only think you have a 10Xs. That screen is not like any iPhone screen. It may be a counterfeit iphone that actually runs Android, unless you are in an app and not on the iPhone Home screen.

It is not a screenshot of any iOS device.

It shows data outside of the screen.
