Happening same with me. Any luck yet? I was worried after seeing it. Do I need to worry about it or it’s normal?

basically I’m worried about if this icon somehow related to hacking of the data? And when I open this busted icon it says data shared by 2 Apps.


Back up, factory reset your iPhone, and restore it, as it seems you have a couple of broken apps.


Here is: How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support (also includes links to backup and restore)


If the problem persists after the factory reset, contact Meta support.
