Unknown icon pops up with blue dot notification

This started a few days only on a couple of my contacts it’s next to the blue dot notification and when I open the thread it disappears… the message looks normal and I have never seen it before any ideas?

Hello Ash-2631,


I believe you are referencing the arrow-turning-underneath-text glyph icon? If so, this is a message summarization feature of Apple Intelligence. Basically, your phone uses AI to summarize the latest message in the specific conversation. You can always disable this if you so desire:


Summarize notifications and reduce interruptions with Apple Intelligence on iPhone - Apple Support


  • Go to Settings on your iPhone
  • Select Notifications -> Summarize Notifications
  • You can now turn off Summarize Notifications

If this symbol wasn't what you were referring to, just let me know and we'll go from there.


Have a nice evening.
