New icon on Note8 any ideas?

I believe this appeared after last security patch. No new apps installed or settings changed, any idea what this is? It is the "w" looking icon...Thands in advance

You could just open the phone and swipe the notification bar down. The full notification would be there, including the name of the app it came from.

I've tried that, when I swiped down it doesn't show. Tried numerous times, nothing. It doesn't show under notifications in settings either…

Can you press it? And does it do anything when you do?

Oddly enough, when I got up this morning the "mystery" icon has vanished. Strange. To answer a previous question, trying to click on it yeilded no results… maybe aliens sent it!?
