There are quite a few icons that show up in various times on your Windows Phone. Some of them are obvious, others are mysterious. The status bar is where most of the icons appear. The status bar is the black bar at the top of the screen. You can swipe down from the top of the screen to show the icons in the status bar. But what do they mean? Let’s find out!
