Blue Dot Next To Mac Apps
If you have automatic downloads enabled in your App Store settings, a blue dot will also appear if an app has been installed automatically as a result of downloading it on another device. Solved: Does anybody know what the blue dot Is on the icon next to the person's name in the text message app? Only shows there. Only - 1031068 - 11.

Where do you see status icons
Status icons appear in the status bar on your iPhone:
If you don't see an icon, check Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner.
- If you see blue, green, or red in the status bar On iPhone X and later, the color shows as a bubble behind the time. On iPhone 8 or earlier, the color goes all the way across the status bar.
- When apps get updated, little blue dots appear next to the app name in iOS 8.1 (and some earlier versions as well). This is just a pet peeve, but those blue dots annoy me. For example, if I update 10 apps, I have to open each of those ten apps to make the blue dots go away, which is a pain.
