My wife shows me her iPad with Notifications, messages and other 'stuff' on the screen and asks me "What is that?" I swipe up, down, left right and can't get rid of the 'stuff' on the screen. She then closes the Apple basic cover.
Opening the cover in a few seconds shows the same screen and all the 'stuff'.
This repeats a few times until I find a few Settings to turn off Notifications. But she then says, "Great, but that's not what I am talking about!" OK, exactly what did "that" refer to? "That note thing... symbol."
Ah, yes. I did notice that thing. But it is no longer showing, so I don't know which of the things I did removed it nor even what it is for! This was a couple of days ago and, AFAIK, that 'thing' has not returned. I've attached a small image below that seems to be similar to what it looked like. It is not the same 'note' that appears on that Apple Music icon (which I removed from my iPhone). AFAIK, she does not have any other music related apps.
Any idea what the "musical note" symbol/icon is/was for? :dntknw:

Do these relate to what you saw?

Thank you!! :clap: That first image is it!! I could never get it to return/show manually. I did suggest she was accidentally causing this but I don't like our "dog house" furnishings... It has not happened since those first 'events'. It could be I managed to remove the music player from her Lock Screen. I'm certainly going to remove it from my iPhone as soon as I post this.
It may be that my iPhone's Lock Screen has too many things on it, but my 'music player' is just a square box with a fast forward/reverse and a play button. No indication that it's a even music or video player! :coolio: Since that icon was showing on her larger iPad screen, it may have had the "note" icon? :dntknw:
I'm still a Noob when it comes to these iDevices! I keep looking for a mobile mouse to connect to them. I really like the track pad with my iMac, but an iDevice makes a terrible track pad, IMHO. :wallbash: And who can remember when to use which 'swipe'?! Where are the Command/Option/Control keys?!!! :blush-anim-cl:
I've just now learned that the Lock Screen is not the same as the Today Screen. Can't remember ever really using either one... :rofl: Still, I'd like to remove some of the 'junque' on the Lock Screen (iOS 14.2, 6S). Oh well, a task for a less frustrating time... :Devilish:
