Android phone top icon question

Boki — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 20:21:17 GMT

My Samsung Android S6 shows one icon I cannot find meaning.

It looks like broken (not connected) triangle with up and down little arrows inside.
Any idea what is this icon meaning and do I have to see it or I can somehow remove it from top of the screen?

@Boki

If it looks like a triangular fan with up and down arrow. This is the icon for WiFi.
Swipe down from the top of the S6 then tap on the icon. This will turn wifi off and you will connect to your data. Once you are on data, it will continue to use up your data plan.

@Boki Data saver setting enabled? Try disabling it and see if it goes away.

You are absolutely correct @Phil_Adelphus . Data saver was ON.

Still not quite clear what that 'data saver' is doing... kind of limit background data transfer but what is actually happening is mystery to me...

Thanks!
