Ikon popping up and disappearing

[Heapsy_1]

Hi,
I have Galaxy Note 8.
The last month about there is ikon looks like wifi with a small sqauar on it that its popping up on the top near the time and disappearing after less then a second few times a day, its not the wifi, the wifi is on the other side. What it could be?

Thank you

It might mean that the phone is using wi-fi calling to send or receive SMS/MMS messages (that little rectangle is actually a messaging icon). Do you have wi-fi calling on? Also, which carrier are you on?

Which carrier, and you using Samsung Good Lock app?

Thank you. How do I turn off this wifi calling? I didn't had this before.
I am from Israel so I'm not sure the carrier is helpful?

Turn wifi calling couple ways if you have that feature
1.Setting>connection >should see toggle
2.pull down notification panel should see toggle
3.phone app settings>toggle

I'm pretty sure you don't have , so we can try other things .

Wifi calling was turned off

What message app your using?

 

[Heapsy_1]

What message app your using?

Usually WhatsApp and txt message on the phone. But again this ikon is new wasn't there before

 

[Heapsy_1]

I found what it is but I don't have options to turn it off and I don't understand why even its started to appear

I don't think that's it. That icon has a magnifying glass in it, while the one you see in your status bar has a messaging icon in it.

I think it is because I was playing with the notifications on the lockscreen I did clicked on "not showing" and it didn't show and then I did "show" + sound and I just now saw it with that sound I gave it to be. I know the ikon is a bit different but I believe it is it

I wonder if its something your carrier offers like wifi message app?

It's still popping up but I'm able to remove the notifications and so I will not see it I guess but it's there
