The status bar of our Android mobiles has so many icons nowadays that it is difficult to follow the story of what. Today we tell you What are the arrows (or triangles) which appear in certain Android mobiles right next to WiFi, Bluetooth icons or data.
Although Android veterans, they surely know what the question is, arrows can be an enigma for those who do not have much experience in technology and in some cases they can serve us Diagnose the problems we have with mobile and its connectivity.
Arrows and Wi -Fi data
The Wi-Fi icon with an arrow down
Let's start at the start: what arrows are we talking about? We refer to Arrows from top to bottom, normally very small And located next to another larger icon, such as Wi -fi or Cover / Data. Keep in mind that these arrows are not part of the standard Android design, they will therefore appear only in certain layers of service.
Not being standard, their appearance can change, but the truth is that in most cases, these are small arrows next to the icon, right or left, and able to point up or down.

In the connection and wifi data, these arrows show the data route: arrow For up and down data for download. In other words, if we see something on YouTube, it will be normal for the arrow to be burned because the streaming video data is being downloaded. In all cases, the most common is that the two arrows are at the same time, because the download of the data must also contact the server from time to time and vice versa.
In addition to indicating if there are active data transfers, these arrows They serve to indicate that there is a connectivity. This is particularly important in the icon (or cover) of data, because if we have connectivity, we will see the arrows, even if they are deactivated, but if there will be, there will be no arrows. It will then be time to try common solutions so that you don't have mobile data.
Arrows Bluetooth
In the Wi -Fi and Bluetooth icon, it is quite clear that the arrows indicate if there is a download or an increase, but Those who accompany the Bluetooth icon can be differentAt least in some layers. The normal thing when we use Bluetooth with headphones or a smartwatch is that the connection is constant, so that the one highlighted for high or low transfers does not make as much sense.

Instead, some layers choose to show The two arrows when you are connected to a Bluetooth device. While Android displays (unless you hide it) the Bluetooth icon in the status bar when you have active it, these arrows are used to know if there is a connected device or not.
In this way, they will help you Identify that your headphones have lost the connection As soon as you see that the Bluetooth icon has no arrows. On the other hand, you can also know if the system shows you the battery of connected devices in the status bar, which is quite common today.
