Why do I have an icon at the top of my text Messages?
The icon at the top of your text Messages is most likely an app icon, indicating that the text message you are using is an app-specific message. Such as iMessage, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Hangouts.
App-specific messages allow you to send messages from one platform or app to another, even if the recipient doesn’t have the same app. When you have an app-specific message, a small icon indicating the app you are using will appear at the top of your message.
That icon will tell you and the recipient which app your message was sent from so that you can both be sure that your messages are sent through the correct app and can be accessed by all participants.
