Direction Cone
The purple cone moving around a person's avatar is called the "direction cone". When holding the phone up in front of you, it shows the direction you are facing at that moment, north/south/east/west. It does not show movement, only the direction you're facing. You do not have to be moving for this to show, it will show all the time, moving or not. This feature cannot be turned off.
Note that this is only visible for yourself - you will not see the direction cone for other Circle members.
