    Hi kayluhsantora,

     

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

     

    The loading wheel you mentioned shows network activity on your iPhone. There are several reasons why it might appear:

    Network activity: Shows that there’s network activity. Some third-party apps may also use it to show an active process.

    If the wheel does not stop spinning, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting steps:

    1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.

    2. Restart your iPhone.

    3. Make sure that your software is up to date:

    Once they're closed, see if launching a certain app causes the wheel to spin again.

     

    All the best,
