Lock Screen Showing Strange Icon

[Omer Iqbal]

Hi,
Hope all are OK.

I cant figure out, what this icon (thumb pin and paper) means and how can i get rid of it.
It only appears on the lock screen. I will be grateful if someone can guide me, how to get rid of that, and what it is.

Do you have an active note in the Samsung Notes app? If yes, try clearing it and see if that works.

All my Notes are clear. There is nothing in there.
What i can tell and remember for sure is that ..... this happened yesterday, when i was tring to put my son's picture on the home screen. I am pretty sure that i went down this route.

I went to gallery, picked a pic from there and clicked the icon where it says share - then from there i clicked the icon Always on Display. It did bring the pic up on the home screen but i choose not to put that one at that time.
That is all i remember and did yesterday.

I have the same icon, unknown source, any other suggestions?

Looks like a pinned note. When you set a note to your always on display, it displays the title for the note for 10 minutes and then reverts back to that small icon, if you double tap on the icon it should open the offending note.

Of course it may open something else as it maybe a generic icon for items pinned to the always on display.

I had the same problem. I just double tapped on the icon and appeared an url and an icon to eliminate it.
