iPhone 6S on Home Screen the Internet wheel is continually spinning - on both wi-fi and Vodafone4G

[oldmouche]

When my iPhone 6S is on the Home Screen the Internet wheel in the top toolbar is continually spinning - on both wi-fi and Vodafone 4G.

Not sure but will keep an eye on it and see if it continues / is anyone else seeing this?

If you have icloud or icloud photos,  then this wheel could be there for a while whilst icloud is backing up/setting up up or downloading photos onto your iphone

Hi,

its probably just indexing spotlight as its new

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.

Don't reset the phone while the wheel is spinning otherwise you are back to square one if you interrupt the indexing.

Leave it for a few hours to give it chance to finish. The Apple servers are probably red hot by now so things will take a little while longer than usual.

This action has never harmed my iPhone's and cured the Spinning Wheel which has been known to continue when not accessing or indexing. 

Each to their own. 😎

Precisely, "when Not indexing", which the phone is attempting to do.

A little patience while the phone completes the indexing task will more more productive than interrupting the process and risk corrupting the indexing and having to start all over again.
