Hi mwhawks,


The time being shaded in green usually means you're currently on a phone call. Additionally, If you see the symbol below, it means Personal Hotspot is in use and a device is connected:

"Hotspot icon

Your iPhone is connected to the internet through the Personal Hotspot of another iOS device."

Cheers!
