O2 icon lock screen

Anonymous — Wed, 17 Dec 2014 13:21:01 GMT

Ive got a iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.2 and the last day or so ive noticed a little o2 icon on the bottom left of the lock screen. Looks like the same icon to the o2 priority app.

Whats this for?

Can you do a screen grab by pressing the sleep / wake button and home button together quickly and post up a copy ?

If your on your iPhone then on the url bar at the top touch it and ask for the desktop version.

The picture insert is the box next to the link icon.

Use the "reply" button, not "Quick Reply" and you will see a toolbar above the reply box.

9th from the left is "Insert/Edit an Image"

Ive been looking around and all I can see is the little icons on the Notifications screen which shows when you pull down from top of the iPhone.

That's not something I've seen.

Does it do anything when you touch it and try choosing another wallpaper just incase its engrained into it.

It doesnt do anything when I tap it etc. Different wallpapers same thing happens. Very odd!

It is as iPhones don't have any carrier bloat ware on them !

Try resetting the iPhone.

On the iPhone hold down the Sleep/Wake Button and Home button together until the Apple Logo shows. Then On seeing this Apple Logo release both buttons ,and the iPhone will reset , which has been known to clear most glitches.

Still same after that.

im connected to a o2 hotspot. Maybe its something to do with that!

Maybe so but I've not noticed that when connected via O2 wifi.

Something I'll look at now when I'm connected to O2 wifi. 😄

i installed the wifi profile, so it autoconnects to a o2 wifi when it finds it.

But ive had that for a month and the icon has only just appeard after the .2 ios update

I can 99% clarify what that is!

Its probably to do with your location services. The icon is the O2 Priority app (which you obviously have installed on your phone) telling you that you have offers, within the Priority App, whch are nearby to your current location (whenever the icon appears on your screen).

I get the same icon but mine is for Southern Rail. When I walk into London Bridge rail station for my commute home after work, the Southern Rail app icon shows up in the bottom left - indicating I have an app with information relative to my current position. The same applies for your icon - if you tap on it, it should take you to the app, with the corresponding info.

Could it anything to do with the iPhone 6 being locked to O2?
