What does this unknown icon in my Messages app mean? I am a sceptic and not sure if it’s embedded with something as I have never seen this icon in messages/texts before… I don’t feel like pressing it and sharing my location or something to an overly curious person with no boundaries [Re-Titled by Moderator]
