Hey micheala136


To see the different icons that may appear in the status bar, click here: Status icons and symbols on your iPhone.


If you're not seeing the icon/symbol in the link provided above, take a look at this article: View activities in the Dynamic Island on iPhone.

On iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, you can check alerts and current activity in progress—such as music that’s playing, your timer, an AirDrop connection, and directions from Maps—in the Dynamic Island on the Home Screen or in any app.

If the information above doesn't answer your question, providing more details about the red dot could help you get more answers. For example, does it appear when using a specific app or performing a certain task?


Take care.
