Solved: Mysterious Icon - Samsung Community

I have noticed for awhile now that this "N' icon has been popping up. Whenever I'm checking my notifications or in my phone settings, there's this icon on some apps. I googled it but it says it's possibly my NFC. The icon isn't the same. They are both 'N' but the NFC one looks totally different. Feedback?

Actually, that means those apps were recently added to your power saving management. Samsung phones are set to auto add apps you don't use often to power saving categories. You can turn it off under the settings in device care. Essentially if you don't use Facebook for a few weeks for example it'll be prevented from running in the background which saves battery

It's not mysterious. It simply means new features for the app it shows on

I have system app overlays that have a purple square with white android head. They all are version 1.0.0 & 0b!!! They are duplicated up to 8-13 times & weren't there when I first got phone. So I don't know. Some answers from support would be nice but they keep dropping me in chat then I get another person!!! Support does not help.
