As my phone was turning on there were 3 purple people figures in the top bar of my iPhone above search bar. Then they disappeared.

If you notice a group of three purple people figures (or a similar icon) appearing above the search bar or near the top of your iPhone screen, it is most likely related to Apple’s Focus features, specifically SharePlay or Personal Focus modes.
• The icon of a person (or people) in the iPhone status bar or above the search bar is associated with Focus modes, particularly the “Personal Focus” mode or SharePlay.
• When you see a purple color associated with this icon, it typically indicates that SharePlay is active. SharePlay allows you to share your screen or media with others during FaceTime calls. When this is happening, iOS displays a purple indicator at the top of the screen.
• The “person” icon on its own (sometimes just one figure, sometimes more) is used to show that a Personal Focus mode is turned on. Focus modes are designed to help you filter notifications and apps based on your current activity, such as work, personal time, or sleep.

To improve my understanding of the phenomenon, it would be highly beneficial if you could share a full screenshot (Do not crop it). Visual representations carry a greater impact than written descriptions.
Please remember that this is a public forum, so when attaching a screenshot, please avoid including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.
With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.
