Strange symbol on home screen

About two days ago, a symbol I have never seen before showed up on my BB Curve 8530 homescreen. I have had this phone for about 2 years. It appears at the top of the screen next to where it shows an envelope and the number of unread emails I have. It looks like a white rectangle with a black dot in the middle, and then there is a red dot located near the upper right corner (the red dot hangs off of the rectangle, if that makes sense). What does it mean? How do I get rid of it?? I searched online and on my phone and have yet to figure it out. Thanks for your help.

It means you have a message from a group in BB messenger

  • Permanent 1 unread message symbol on home screen

    Hi!
    I have a relatively new Blackberry Curve 8330 (I bought it about 2 months ago!) and the symbols at the top of the home screen (for missed calls, unread messages, etc.) had been working fine until a couple of weeks ago when the unread message symbol became stuck on the screen for some time now.  I have gone through all my messages and even pressed "U" to find unread messages - but the following message comes up:
    "No unread messages in list."
    There seems to be no real reason for the symbol to stay popped up, since all of my messages have been read.
    It's annoying me and I really want to get rid of the symbol, since there are no unread messages.
    How should I go about this?
    Thank you!

    That's a browser push message if it is yellow.
    If it's blue, it's a WAP push message.
    1. Open your main Messages folder.
    2. Press the Menu key (left of the trackball).
    3. Click on View Folders.
    4. Click on Browser Push messages (or WAP Push Messages).
    5. Read or delete the messsage.

  • How do you delete a symbol from the home screen?

    Don't ask me how, but I have added an unwanted symbol on my home screen.  It is a link to a web page that I did by mistake.

    Hold your finger on it and it will shake and have a + sign in the left corner.
    Click that + to delete.
