i14pro has delete symbol next to the phone icon

There is a delete symbol ( circle with a dash inside) next to my phone app icon. It does nothing when I hold down on it. Is that symbol a message informing us of an action we must take?

A circular red icon 🔴 at roughly the 2 o'clock position would indicate a something requiring attention within the associated app, though those usually have numbers within. Voicemail issues or other carrier issues are possible here, too.

Take a screenshot and crop the image to just the app and whatever redness is shown and post it here, please?

It appears that when the display was returned to normal after app deletions were made the phone app icon remained in the delete mode. I powered down and restarted the phone and this problem went away.

The app customization (and deletion) mode usually involves all of the apps jiggling, too.

The apps also show with a whiteish icon at about 11 o’clock.

If that jiggling happens, either tap the done button in the upper right, or press the side button.
