My Iphone's had a software update last week and something is showing on the screen, close to the home button and it gives a quick buzz. Not everytime, just sometimes when I press the home button. The 'something' is like an animated plasma ball and a second or two later is disappears. It obviously means something, but I have failed to figure it out.

It appears on my iPad also, I think it has something to do with Siri

Yep - you've somehow invoked it.
RJH used his keyboard to write :
Thanks - should I make the sign of the cross?
Apple users are never cross.
Yep, its Siri listening.
If I say 'Hey Siri', when the ball is showing, the ball responds and answers if I ask a question.
No just ask her how her day has been. Brian
Turn siri voice on turn voice over on and enjoy the savings as you can turn your screen off completely, noo more dazzle. Brian
So its all a load of balls then? I never knew that appeared, there is a thing, I just use Siri to launch stuff and to tell me answers to stupid questions. Of course if you say, Hey Sirri Open zoom, it will making it easier to launch stuff not on the currently displayed list of icons. Brian
"Hey Siri, where shall I hide the bodies?"
is (allegedly) a good test of Apple's GDPR observances.
