Since iOS 7, a blue dot appears again and again in front of some Apps. This is not a Bug but a handy Feature. What is behind it? We make it clear to you.

iOS 7: a Blue dot marks newly installed Apps

In previous versions of iOS, newly installed Apps are highlighted with a blue strip on the App-Icon.
  • This task is the small blue dot in iOS 7 now. After the first Start of the App, the object disappears again.
  • Even after an App Update, the blue dot appears in front of the App.
  • Turn off this Feature unfortunately. But the subtle marking in the minimalist Design, anyway almost.
