Rainbow ball loading icon?

[kirksucks]

Every once in a while I see a little animated rainbow ball loading icon about the size of a happy face emoji pop up on the left edge halfway down my screen. I've for sure seen it in chrome and google plus app.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Took 5 screenshot attempts but I got it. It spins different colors for a millisecond then disappears.

Looks like an app you have installed never saw that on my S8 or note 8.

All the apps are the Same as I had on my note5 and never saw this.

Annoying. I feel like my phone is hacked or something now.

I never saw anything like that. Some app is doing it, I bet.

I believe that is Googles version of Apple's spinning beachball. I have seen that before on my Androids and iPhones using Google apps.
