I found the answer. See below: - It has to do with the "Focus" settings. I had looked for the answer everywhere and nobody seemed to know what it was. It's a little "paw" that was showing up right beside the Wi-fi/VPN bar in the upper right cover of my Ipad Pro and my Iphone. Thank you for your reply. I do appreciate the time you took to send me a message.

See my findings above. It was the "focus" in settings.

Where and when is this symbol appearing? And can you post a screenshot from one of your devices so we can see what this symbol is?

You can change that icon to a different one if you so choose. Tap the blue Edit in your first screenshot to choose another. It won't change anything else.
