What's This

I just noticed this today, to the left of the time the round arrow thing just goes in circles all day. Could someone please tell me what it is, it never did this before. Thank you

The only time I've seen that spinning circle with the arrows was when iOS was downloading or installing an update. Have you recently installed an update to iOS?

Did the last update this last Monday, the phone seems to work fine. There was also a server update last week from Telus.

I would reboot the phone to see if the spinning circle goes away.

It seems it shows that the phone is probably syncing to either iTunes or iCloud.

See page 12/13:

I don't know if it's actually doing anything or just showing it's connected. But it must be a huge capacity iPhone if it's actually syncing all day long.

It's the sync symbol. Are you set up to sync wirelessly (if you go to iTunes > your iPhone > general, there's a checkbox at the bottom)? If so, that's what it is. It's also probably lingering because WiFi sync, although convenient, is very slow especially if you have a lot of content.

Thank you guys that was it, I never knew my iTunes was set up that way.
