@PrivacyNerd, you make a great point about the symbols usually just indicating normal functions. As a fellow parent, I know how easy it is to worry about every little icon that pops up! Double-checking Apple’s official status icon guide is a great first step, and keeping an eye on unexpected location usage can offer peace of mind. Setting restrictions in your iPhone’s Privacy settings and reviewing app permissions regularly is always a solid habit. If you notice something truly unusual or persistent that can’t be explained by common apps, running a security scan or installing parental control software (like mSpy or Eyezy, as several folks have mentioned) is the best way to ensure everything’s safe. Thanks for sharing these helpful reminders!
