iphone spinning circle next to WiFi

Fighting this literally for months and my only solution was a restart until this old answer from "deggie"... "Don't do the restart and let it run. After about 24 hours check your battery usage and see which app is using the most battery, that will be the one spinning the wheel."

It was my "Brave" browser. Removed battery eater "Brave", went with "Firefox Focus", spinner all gone!

Thank you deggie!

The wheel keeps spinning iPhone SE The wheel next to the WiFi signal in the top left corner just keeps spinning, killing my battery. I’ve checked software updates, closed all open apps, turned the phone off, done a hard restart multiple times. Nothing makes the wheel stop spinning! Been going on for weeks. Is this a glitch of the SE?! Help!

spinning wheel on iphone se This constantly spinning wheel next to my wifi icon is draining battery power and annoying me. I've looked at the solutions offered when this came up a few years ago but none have resolved the issue. I don't use Siri or the microphone (both are switched off). Help please!!!

Spinning icon in upper right corner Several days ago my iPad began displaying a spinning asterisk next to the WiFi notification every time I turn on WiFi. I assume something is running in the background but I can’t figure out what it is. Even if I only open 1app, the spinning thing appears. I think it is slowing my iPad down.
