Icons overlapping in Home screen

On the second page of my home scree, the icon on the top right shows a translucent Minus sign. If I try to drag it, I can see that it appears to be 2 different app icons overlapping. If I move the top one, the next icon in line will jump to take its place on top of the other app. I have no way of just removing the bottom app (which seems to be a 2nd camera icon - the 1st one is on the first page of my home screen)

The issue appears to be just with that very spot on the second page. Is this expected? I don't remember the feature being there before... I noticed the little minus sign only a few days ago, but thought it was just a glitch that would go away just as it popped up.. Any ideas?

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

This is driving me crazy! Behind the hicamp icon is a Safari icon that jiggles with that minus symbol, if you move the app in front the next app in line just takes its place. Super annoying. Has my phone been hacked? Between this & my phone never plugging in properly to the charger I am at the end of my patience with this phone! I expect more from a 14-pro! 😡
