Flashing Upload to Cloud icon on notification bar?

[Tiana_watts]

I need help identifying a problem I've been having since I recently got a newer phone. Since I have a LG X Charge phone, I'm fairly certain it's also considered an andriod.

So the things is, there's this icon/ symbol that would randomly show up and disappear seconds later. Even flashing occasionally. It might be a "upload to cloud" icon; a cloud with an arrow pointing upwards. https://images.app.goo.gl/cdeLbivrBi4VT4F19 [Example]

I don't know what to do or what it means, I'm paranoid my phone is being spyed on. I'm not connected to any cloud as far as I know. My data provider is Sprint but I don't use their cloud either. Can someone explain or help me? I have found nothing so far to explain my situation.

Welcome to Android Central! It might be due to LG Backup as well.

If someone were trying to spy on you, this would be the clumsiest attempt ever.
