It may be that some apps are demanding your location, it may be because call forwarding is on, or may be due to airplane mode being on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>A hollowed-out arrow indicates an object can take over your position in some circumstances. The iPhone will show an arrow according to the location permissions that you set up for it. Sometimes, the arrows icon will change colors or look blank, depending on how different apps are using your location.<\/p>\n<p>When an arrow icon appears on the top-right of your iPhones display, that means that the app is using location services. The blue arrow on the iPhones status bar shows that an app on your iPhone might request your location services. The small arrow occasionally shows an indication that Location Services is currently active on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are uncomfortable when various apps, such as Weather, are using Location Services, even when a small arrow on the top-right corner is telling you they are. If you can use non-location-based features in those apps, and you are still getting fun and utility out of it, turning off location services might be the way to go. Some apps that do use your location can be extremely useful, and without location data, they are greatly hampered in their ability to offer their services to you. In fact, you have a choice about which apps you would like to include accurate location data.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that certain apps on your iPhone can make use of the accurate location feature to learn about your precise location. The usage is required by features such as Maps and directions, and it can be used by other apps that need to know your location. Many apps on Your iPhone 5 use the function to give you information about your current location, like restaurants or driving directions, and others use your devices GPS to help you tag images or your whereabouts for social media.<\/p>\n<p>Your iPhone shows you the status of your location, as well as how it is being used or shared by an app. The Location Arrow is always present on the iPhone, as the iPhone uses GPS to keep track of your location. The arrow is filled when any app or process requests the location of the iPhone. Two Location Arrows will tell you when the location is being requested from the background by the app.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has previously used a black-and-white combo of the two location arrows in the status bar to indicate when your location is being accessed on the device. A solid (black) arrow means that your phone is actively accessing a YORU location. If your device displays a solid (black) arrow, then it is effectively trying to find you. I have seen this arrow appear on my I-Phone, and I knew that icon meant something about the location.<\/p>\n<p>When an app that you are using needs your location, the blue arrow shows up. Once the app has received location information, the arrow returns to the empty icon once more.<\/p>\n<p>The arrow icon appears at the top right corner of the screen when using Maps, Find My iPhone, or any other application that uses location services. When you see the little arrow icon at the top-right corner of your iPhones screen, that means that one of your iPhone 5s apps is using your location. If you come across a solid grey arrow icon while using any of your apps on your iPhone, that means your location is currently being accesses by a site or an application on your iPhone. A solid gray arrow next to one of your apps means your location has been used by that app in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>You might have more apps with purple arrows, which indicates more than one app is currently using your location, or has used your location in the past. A purple arrow indicates that the element has recently used your location. A Grey Arrow in an iPhone screen indicates that an item has used your location within the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The purple arrow-stack icon on top-right corner of iPhone means an app has used location services recently. In a nutshell, if you enable Location Services, you might see a black or blank-looking arrow icon that indicates your phone is using Location Services (e.g., Maps, Camera, Weather apps, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The pink-hollow location icon, as mentioned earlier, is a location icon that appears when an app or a website can grant permissions to access your location, in specific circumstances. You can find a Hollow Location Arrow by opening your Maps app, and then tapping on the location arrow on the bottom of your screen. The Arrow means the app will use your location information, either in certain conditions decided by the app, or configured by you in your apps permissions. The arrow icon comes in various shapes and shades, with various colors denoting different ways your location has been accessed.<\/p>\n<p>You need to be aware of what the arrows for each set of location services mean when it comes to privacy concerns, particularly if you are unsure about what apps are able to access your iPhones location.<\/p>\n<p>You can also disable location services entirely on your iPhone to make sure that no apps can access your location, though that limits much of the functionality of location-based apps such as Maps and Weather. Disable toggles to hide an icon that appears when system services are accessing location data. Users may see a Location Arrow in the Mac when Show location icon in menu bar when System Services requests your location is enabled.<\/p>\n<p>The Location Icon on iPhones status bar appears only when a website or application uses your devices current location. The location icon is a safety tool designed to inform users when data is being sent to apps regarding their location. Not just iPhone users, Mac users may face Hollow Arrow problem.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that this post has helped to shed light on the new Blue Location Icon. If you recently purchased an iPhone, or upgraded to the latest version of iOS on an Apple device, you might be fed up with the time-stamped arrows in iOS 15.<\/p>\n<p>By default, any apps that get your coordinates on your Apple devices receive your exact coordinates. Some location-based background services and apps on Apple devices (Fix Why my navigation Arrows are in the status bar of my iPhone\/iPad\/iPod, or menu bar of my Mac\/MacBook) will turn off the location services themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_grey_arrow_mean_blocked\"><\/span>Does grey arrow mean blocked?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A buddy may have blocked you if you send them a Snap and a grey arrow and &#8220;Pending&#8221; display next to their contact.
