Help Looking for what this notification is

[Android Central Question]

I was a way for my s9 phone and when I got back and looked on the always on display It had a notification that had the letter A in a circle with 3 lines on the out side of the circle on both sides of it almost like a sun notification but with the top and bottom line gone. It disappeared as I entered the lock screen If anyone know what this notification is please tell me as I am now curious.

Welcome to the forums. If you haven't restarted the phone this guide can help you to identify that notification icon.

Thanks for registering. This is your phone, right? Use the instructions in the guide I linked above and you'll see which of your apps sent that notification. Or browse your apps looking for a similar icon.

Welcome to Android Central! Could it be that you accidentally turned on your Accessibility settings somehow?

 

[anon(10666767)]

Yes this is my phone and I did restart so the catch for notifications was most likely reset

Does accessibility settings use the same icon? And the only accessibility function I'm using is touch and hold delay

Hi , welcome !

Sorry wasn't able to get a picture of it on my phone was gone as soon as I got to my lock screen

It could be for auto adjustment for screen lighting on lock screen

I have an S10 and it looks like the Accessibility icon *may* be a person. This is what is shown in my Settings app. I too am using Touch and Hold Delay.

It could but just this morning I turned of adaptive brightness and turned down the brightness down manually. I did turn it back on

 

[mustang7757]

If you double tap the time and date it will pop up to adjust , go into settings >lock screen>tap AOD >toggle automatically adjust screen brightness

That's probably why

Yup that's it just found it it's a sun with A in the middle I'll post a picture at some point because I couldn't get a screen shot on the always on display
