icons during "incoming text"

Hi all-- I recently noticed that an incoming text with the three bubbles indicating "typing" were prefaced by an american airlines icon. Is that because the person sending the text was on a flight? Thx!

Hello elyman,


It's possible the person who was texting you may have been selecting an American Airlines sticker to send you. When using a sticker app from the App Store, the icon of the sticker app will appear.

Cheers.
