There's a new phone icon incoming. Can you tell what it is?

In this video, the only footage we currently have from EA Play, you can briefly see this on the phone menu

as opposed to my game's phone menu, which looks like this

There's an additional icon there.

Now, unless that icon is from a pack I don't have (though - did the demo games have all the packs installed? You'd think they'd just be showing off the new game) then it's new.

And I cannot discern it for the life of me.

You can see it for yourself at around 7:13 in the video if you'd like. Any takers? Make your wildest guess!

    I can determine it's the one on the far right, but beats me as to what it is. Well spotted though.

    Yup it’s the notebook, it’s not at the top anymore.

    It looks like an emoji to me... maybe we'll be able to type texts now?

    Hmmm... interesting. I tried isolating the icon and reducing glare and stuff. I still cant tell what it could be, but maybe it'll give someone else ideas.

    I think it's notebook. So they move access to notebook from top of the phone to the bottom

    This makes a LOT of sense. You're probably right. I remember the first time I played the Detective career I had no idea where my "notebook" was which was supposed to keep track of the clues. I had to google it. I bet they made it easier to find for everyone, which means this (like the trait randomizer) is an upcoming Quality of Life update.

    Gosh, that makes me so excited. In terms of simple UI updates, both of these are great. That plus the 350 swatches... whatever this new update is, they've clearly been putting a lot of thought into simple ways to make the game better. I'm actually optimistic, which is not like me when it comes to EA and their BS.

    I doubt it's the case, but I hope the notebook is also gets an overhaul with this change. Like letting us write our own notes, or deleting old ones.
